Answer

Another option is "He was vomiting and said he had a stomachache."

Answer

I think it's better to say: his stomach aching. The word "to pain" can be used as a verb, but it is has the meaning: to cause someone unhappiness and it can't be used in the progressive.

Answer

More natural sounding would be "He was vomiting and said his stomach was aching"

Answer

I'm sorry "his stomach was aching"
