What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen?
My son is 14 and is complaining of stomach pain. He s pointing to his lower tummy area, not on the sides where the appendix or kidney s are located. I was thinking just give him Pepto, what do you think? He s been complaining of the pain for about an hour now.

Exact location of pain needs to be known for giving more comment
If pain is in stomach are as you have mentioned in history then sudden onset pain could be from acute gastritis or gastric ulcer like problem...
For that you can give him pantoprazole tablet for week

_stress
_fried nom veg
Yougurt included in diet
Cooked oatmeal help in soothing stomach
Drink warm water for drinking
If no improvement then USG scan planned and antibiotic course prescribed
