Hi,

Pumping with antibiotics is not the answer, hydrate him well. Also start no a course of probiotics to normalise the guy flora. Do this for 15 days if no improvement then repeat blood and stool analysis along with a scan.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
