Please advise [/INST] Welcome to the ChatDoctorI completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Metal Spas is good for symptomatic relief of abdominal pain. It should not be given more than3 times a day. If the pain is severe and associated with fever, it suggests some underlying pathology which needs to be ad Chat Doctor.  I would recommend you the following measures:1. A proper clinical examination by a pediatrician along with ultrasound abdomen if required.2. Acetaminophen can be given. It will be helpful in pain and fever both.3. As gastritis can also present like this, lansoprazole tablets will be useful if given before breakfast.4. Give him lots of fluids and avoid any spicy, unhygienic and unhealthy food. Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me. Take care </s>
