There are a couple of things that come to mind based on the location. With lower abdominal pain, the most serious thing that we worry about is appendicitis. The fact that it has been present for 2 days, and not getting worse (?) would make this a bit less of a concern.

Another possible cause would be a urinary tract infection.

I would suggest that you have him checked by a doctor.
