Hi

Weight of 12 kg for a 3 year old child is slightly low. But if the height is fine and his activity is okay, you need not worry.

Regarding the stomach ache etc, you have not mentioned about the duration of symptoms. If its of recent onset, a stool routine examination from a lab will help.

Without fever, though serious gut infections are unlikely, some infections like giardiasis have to be ruled out. Stool examination may help to find the cause.

Also food/ milk allergy has to be ruled out if he has been having these symptoms for a long time.

You may include plenty of curd in his diet. Probiotics like Enterogermina/ Bifilac/ Econorm twice a day for 5 days will help.

Wish your son good health.
