If he is otherwise bright and alert, eating and not vomiting, most cases will resolve within 3-5days - a probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora or canikur can be very helpful to speed recovery alongside a bland or specialist intestinal diet. A check up would be recommended if there is any vomiting, weakness or fever
