It would be best to first figure out why your child has a stomach ache. Constipation is a common source of stomach ache, in which case miralax , lots of water, and a high fiber diet will relieve this problem and pain. If it is due to acid reflux, an antacid would help. Either way apple cider vinegar and a probiotic won't hurt.
If your 5-year-old kid was evaluated by a pediatrician and no significant issues were discovered you can give him homeopathic Chamomilla 6c - 5 pills 3 times/day
There's a lot of herbs that can help with stomach aches in pediatric cases. However, it's important to understand what's causing the stomach aches in the first place in order to establish long lasting health.
Without knowing his medical background or any other symptoms, I would suggest keeping him comfortable and applying a warm compress to the area. Think about his toileting - has he been constipated? How is his hydration levels? If his belly ache persists, please contact your family doctor. Feel better!
