hi,thanks for query.first of all you need to watch his diet.please stop all the maize products like bread,biscuits,noodles,pasta etc.Give him plenty of fluids daily and make him eat more of green leafy vegetables in form of soup or other.In crease fiber content in diet.Make him pass stool in traditional Indian sitting style.this all will definitely help.
wishing him good health.
