A rash, hives, or itching after a transfusion is an allergic reaction. It can be treated with an antihistamine such as Benadryl before the transfusion. I don't know why a transfusion would produce a stomach ache, but let the doctor know about your son's reaction so an allergic reaction can be prevented with any future transfusions.
