Increase hydration.: Continue healthy diet. You could gently massage his abdomen form lower right quadrant extending up to transverse upper abdomen (left to right) to upper left to lower left quadrant. This may stimulate is bowels to move.

Try Juices: Constipation at his age is pretty common because of insufficient fiber intake. Try prune or pear juice 2 oz three times a day. If no response, he is likely to need a bowel softener from his primary care provider. Teething is unrelated to stooling issue.
