General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
The most probable cause of pain in abdomen in a child who is 4 years old is not constipation but either appendicitis or tummy tonsils , meaning inflamed lymph nodes.
An urgent ultrasonography along with a clinical examination by a Pediatric Surgeon will help for a proper diagnosis and treatment .
