Growth Problem

Asked for Male, 8 years

Asking for my son 3 years old. He does not eat properly and not drink any kind of milk; formula, flavor. He is active but looks weak as compared to children of his age. He does not digest his food properly. Is my child suffering from stunt growth and can I give him multivitamins?

Dear Patient,

Yes, you may give any good multivitamins available commercially. But it would be best to meet a nutritionist for this and give him. Avoid a diet that can suit him. I would recommend Dr. Sana Azfar at Aga Khan.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/child-specialist
