Treated For Diarrhea. No Bowel Movement For Days With Constipation, Stomach Pain, Appetite Poor. Solution?

my grandson had diarrhea for about 3 days almost 3 weeks ago. After that he would not have a bowel movement for 3 or 4 days then normal then constipation again. for the last week he feels the urge to potty several times a day and nothing happens. 2 days ago he had a large round hard stool with a thick white coating followed by a moderate amount of normal stool. still complains of having to go potty several times a day with no results. Also says belly hurts at times just above belly button. Hasnt had another bowel movement in 2 days. Has an appointment with his pediatrician tomorrow. Appetite has been very poor for several days but drinking normal. No fever or vomiting. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
