Give them a small dosage of ginger,and make sure they are not eating any kind of junk food to upset their stomaches more. Avoid giving them cold water to.
Very young children of ages 2-4 yrs can have stomach ache due to many reasons. So its better you see a doctor rather than home remedies.
Peppermint tea is quite effective in reducing stomach cramps.
Several of the cures already listed are quite effective: ginger and peppermint are known to soothe the stomach (chamomile tea is also good for calming the stomach).
Generally, upset stomach is caused by an excess of acid in the stomach, so it's better to give children unsweetened seltzer, rather than soda (doctors often recommend ginger ale, but the sugar in the beverage turns to acid in kids tummies and this can cause the cycle to start all over again).
So, avoid giving them sugar or anything with tomatoes (another major cause of acid build up in the stomach, especially for young kids) and give them a nice cup of unsweetened tea.
