Son losing weight

Asked for Male, 11 years

My son is turning 5 years old next month. He was born weighing 3.2 kg and has ever since been growing well. He has always been fit, however, in December last year he started losing weight and ever since then he has been losing weight. Should I be worried?

Dear Patient,

Let's discuss his weight loss a little. Did he experience loss of a loved one or decreased appetite since the time he has lost weight? How much weight was he in December and what is his current weight? Has he experienced any generalized weakness or fever? Are his bowel movements normal or does he have diarrhea/constipation often? If yes, is this how he was always or is this recent? Is he into physical activities? Please share this info accurately so we can help you further.

For further help, we recommend checking with one of the
best nutritionists in Rawalpindi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/rawalpindi/nutritionist
