Could you add a photo of him so we can see ? Also could you tell us how you keep him, what is in the tank and what you feed and so on. Hopefully with a little more information someone will be able to advise you what may help.

Sooo I feed him on frozen blood worms and live crickets with thongs. The tank is temporary its the biggest size of plastic tanks. In the aquarium he only have a coconut as hiding pace and a decoration with bamboos. When I looked at him he was swimming around and realised air and did it again after I touched him and he was swimming around. The bloating is decreasing. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...79644863_n.jpg its not that clear but he was moving around when he saw me trying to capture a photo and that was the best I could get :/

The link didn't let me view the picture.
Good to hear it is decreasing, we had a fire bellied newt larva with trapped wind once, he was floating upside down, but moving around a bit. Later he changed to floating on his side.
We lowered the water level so he could keep himself upright and by morning he was fine
