STOP feeding him mealworms imediately! Their exoskeleton is comprised of too much chitin that is undigestable and can cause an impaction. This is more than likely why he had a prolapse. From now on you should feed him earthworms or night crawlers. They are very easy to digest and do not cause impaction. They actually make it easier for them to poop. Crickets are also fine. Try waxworms as well absolutely no more mealworms or superworms.
I'm sorry, but I cannot say for sure whether he will die or not. If his bowels continue to be unable to work properly then the outcome looks grim. I wish theire was more I could do from here, but I'm extremely limited from across the world.
Post some pictures of him and his home. Try the advise that I've given and see if it helps him.
Keep me. Posted.
Not while he is having trouble with his bowels. Get some earth worms and feed those to him.

You are not providing the proper home for your pacman. This will describe the setup you need to house your Pacman correctly. Johnny888 can help you find a Vet. Let him help you as well.
Follow my advice and keep us posted.
can i take him to our dog/cat vet?its name is animal house vet but i think my mother wouldnt want me to bring it there cause she said that people will run away and get scared of it but can i give him wild caught earthworm with soil?
and also can i give him our garden soil in his pet carrier with shallow dish.
No. You need to buy them from a pet store or off the internet so you can be sure that the earth worms are chemical and parasite free. Otherwise the wild. Caught ones may. Make him sick. The soil cannot come from nature. You need to buy some Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate or Plantation soil. Do not buy Coconut Husk. You should be able to find what you need from a pet store. If not you will need to order it from the internet.
I can not stress enough that you need to research your pet before you get it. You should always provide the correct and proper conditions for them to live long healthy lives. It is not entirely your fault, but this happens way too much.
Let Johnny888. Give you the number for his Vet. A regular Vet will not know anything about Amphibians.
then he's going to die supposemy parents wont allow me to bring them to vet like my iguana last time it had ant bites our friend's guest told to spray chlorine on him after 2 days it died he was an expert in lizards only well i think my frog will die how many % will he survive?
Hi Jerome! I would suggest for you to follow Grif's advice. I know your dilemma about finding a vet specializing in exotic pets. Send me a pm so I can give you the name of my vet.
PS. Please don't feed mealworm to your pacman so as not to aggravate it's current medical condition
