Hello,
I do not see anything serious in this child as long as he has been able to pass bowel movement twice yesterday and thrice today.
The pain is due to being constipated and finding difficult to pass the stool. Give some prune supplement (fiber) plus apply anal enema to help him pass the stool.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
