Time to see peds: Time to see his pediatrician. The way it sounds there is likely obstruction on his urethra, the urinary duct and that may result in urine backing up. It may be as simple as needing a circumcision or revising the existing one to other inner urethral conditions that might need a specialist. The sooner, the better.

Depends on details: Usually means the foreskin is a bit long or tight and causes itself to balloon during peeing because urine coming out of the urethral meatus is faster than the urine leaving the foreskin end of the penis. His pediatrician can examine and decide what to do. Parents can make a video of peeing and ballooning to show doctor, but delete the video afterward, don't share it, don't upload to the cloud.
