You have to regularise his bowel movement by daily making him go in the morning. He should not eat junk foods and eat moderately only. With trial and patience he will gain control. Do not scold him but gently explain to him.

It seems child is not given toilet. I would advise you to be patience and start teaching him now. Daily morning he must be given a glass ful of lukewarm water. Visit to toilet. Give him green veggie food as fibers in food help in motion. Do not scold him and nor irritate him. By the way how he is at school.
