Hello,
It may be due to worm infestation. For that he may require complete hemogram, stool analysis, ultrasound abdomen after pediatrician consultation. He may require antibiotics after consultation. Keep him well hydrated. Continue oral rehydration solution. Give hygienic food and water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
