Pediatrician,  's  Response
Common causes of abdominal pain and diarrhea are infections, food allergies, food poisoning etc. Serious causes of such complaints may be Appendicitis, Intussusception, inflammatory bowel disease etc.
Probably your son is suffering from bacterial infection.
You may ask your doctor to add dicyclomine with paracetamol for abdominal cramps, ORS solution for preventing dehydration, and antibiotics for infections.

For any further query you may consult me at Healthcare Magic.
