Hello,
Include more fiber-rich foods to his diet. Simple laxatives like lactulose can also be given.
If symptoms persist better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. Conditions like worm infestation have to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
