What could be causing stomach pain in a 7-year-old boy?

Improper diet: Overeating, consuming excessive greasy food, or eating too many raw or cold foods may lead to indigestion. Abdominal pain may occur early on. Oral medications such as Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets or Bifidobacterium preparations can be given to promote digestion and regulate intestinal flora. 2.
