the height of the child depends upon the genetic patterns as well as the diet the child is taking. 
so meet your doctor who will tell you whether it is within the normal limits according to the height of the parents or not. 
the doctor will calculate mid parental height and then tell you whether any intervention in the form of supplements is required or not.
it is advisable that the child should take some amount of cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily according to the age of the child.
regular physical activity is also important to increase the weight and height of the child.
at this age the child should pass stool regularly.
if the consistency is hard and the child is having pain while passing stool it is considered as constipation.
give plenty of water and fibre diet to the child
