Hi..a 6 year old weighing 15 kg is definitely less than expected for his age. I would like to know if other causes for his low weight have been ruled out or not. Giving food supplements is not the option without finding out the reason for his low weight.
I have a few questions for you -
1. What was his birth weight?
2. What about his urination - is it very frequent and as is thirst (excessive)?
3. Does he have diarrhea very frequently?
4. Does the stools float on the pan?
5. Any skin or hair color changes off late?
6. How is his achievement of developmental milestones?
Kindly get back to us with the above questions.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
