he seems to be having a partial Intestinal obstruction [ Complete obstruction would have added Vomiting also]
if he is measuring abdominal girth and it is increasing too goes in favour of obstructive lesion of intestine
he should be taking nothing by mouth till cleared by a specialist-- a surgeon in this case
