Hello Brandy, The sugary food may sometimes allow parasitic infestations. These are common in this age group. Kindly go for his USG and stool test by doctors opinion. If it is positive for that, take appropriate anti-helminthics with your doctors opinion.Kindly do not allow him to eat more sugary food.Tell him drink plenty of water (preferably ORS) if loose motions are associated with this. Take care.
