HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It is alright even if your boy passes the stool every after 3 to 4 days it is counted as a normal only thing you can try is give him fiber containing diet, some vitamin supplements, if he can manage the voiding with his own then give him lots of drinking water, take care of him.
