Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion in addition to medications if also needs psychological counselling. Also start behavioural therapy for him at home. All his privileges should be withdrawn on the day if refuses school. His school attendance should be rewarded. Role play of school will help to express his anxiety for school.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
