How To Increase Weight And Stamina In A 10 Year Old?
My son is 10 year old. His height is increaing and but he is not gaining the weight. As per Medical chart, his height is OK but weight wise he is 6-7 Kg less. Presently his weight is about 22Kg. He is very much energetic and doing all his regular activity as a normal child. But while walking beyond 300m, he feel tied. His face look very small, leg and hand are very thin. Please suggest, how to increse his weight and his stamina.

Hi...there are no medicines to increase the weight and stamina without side effects. If any one of the parents have been lean at the same age as him, then probably it is genetic and you need not worry about it. An active is a well kid and do not worry about the weight alone.
