hi i m worried about my 4 year old son not eating, he s never been a big eater but over the last 2 months he s hardly eating at all, the odd bowl of cereal or bag of crisps. he has sandwiches at school so i can see if he is eating there and he isnt. he is always complaining of pains in his arms and legs and of belly ache. could this be something serious? i am really worried he is really skinny.
Hello.... Thank you for asking Query read it, your child is 4 year, nowadays this problem is more due to intake of candies, chips, some sweets frequently taken by child Chat Doctor. As fast foodlike sandwiches are not good for heath, eating simple food cooked in house is good for health, if belly pains, legs/arm pain looks due to deficient proteins and calcium in diet as his habit of eating must be changed fresh juice, a glass of milk daily is essential for good health, for belly pain you can take your son to doctor to do his stool test routine to see any worms or any infection, is to be on safe side, but also some multi vitamin syrup he can prescribe for him, Iron syrup if he is Anemia/low red blood. Hope you got the answer. Please ask freely any query any time. Doctor M Bar
