Hi,
Seeing the history having passing small amount of stool which is sticky in nature indicates that he might be having gastro-intestinal infection mainly of prtozoal infection.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
After report he might require one course of metronidazole or combination of oflxacilin, metronidazole combination medicine course for 5 days.
Give him light food and plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
