Mom of a 9 yr 6 m old boy3 years ago
Q.

My son will turn 6 yrs old now, but there is hardly any growth in weight and height. According to his growth charts he has always been between 3rd and 15th percentile but he looks the smallest in his batch. I ensure he eats healthy, he is very active also. Should I add any supplements to his diet? Should I consult any endocrinologist?

A. start some appetizers and iron calcium and multivitamin regularly and protein powder with milk twice a day as diet alone can't meet nutritional requirements of a growing child still once do routine investigation

A. Yes You should go ahead with the consultation with your doctor because it seems like your child probably maybe having multiple deficiencies which is why this may be happening so it’s important that once you get a chance will probably more sure about the reason behind
