Is Delay In Physical Growth Of A Child A Concern?

Hi, I have a 12 year old son who is no growing like his mates. When he was a child, he was very picky and did not eat much at all. He wouldnt eat fruits excepts apples. I should have consulted a doctor then, but I did not know much as he is my first child. I am very worried about him because his height and weight are far below his mates. Is there anything I can do to see my son grow?

hi sir /madam
welcome to Health Care Magic,

I can certainly understand your concern towards your child growth, I would like to know his weight and height, so that i can get some idea, but I can tell you one thing that there is nothing much to worry, as long as your child is healthy and not sick .

I can suggest some foods which helps in growth, like milk, eggs, soybeans, oatmeal, chicken, spinach, carrots, fruits, whole grains

hope this information would help you.
