There must be severe dehydration, give him at least 200 ml water stat and wait for 1 hour if not passing urine give him another 200 ml if still not passing urine within 1 hour go to nearest pediatrician immediately, he may need injections, iv fluid and renal function tests to be done. Otherwise give him lots of fibrous food regularly so that pooping habit becomes normal.
