HHello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I will suggest using laxatives tablets just for this case or Microklist to ease bowel movements. After that, give healthy foods, such as soup, fiber, kiwi, apple/orange juice, fig jam and an abdominal massage would help his bowel movement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
