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?
