Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. In my opinion, your child has probably got stomach infection. During nighttime, the child is not able to pass gases and that's why he is having pain abdomen at night only. If I was your treating doctor, I would have given syrup of lox 5 ml PO three times a day for 3 days and syrup Cyclops 5 ml PO three times a day for 2 days. However, since this is a prescription medicine, i advice you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor.
