Sometimes hot sensation can be caused due to intestinal in parasitic infections.
These can be treated by a single dose of albendazole which is a anti parasitic drug. This treatment is called deworming.
If he had gastritis a week back the hotnsensation he is feeling could be due to that and in that case shouLdnsettle without any meds
You can give him lactulose liquid on an as required basis for constipation. ( get a prescription from your doctor)
