Children are the ones who are most susceptible to infections. Sore throats, common cold, tonsillitis, fever, stomachache, vomiting, diarrhea, ear pain, toothache…are some complaints that all children suffer from more than once in their childhood. Medical attention is a must in sickness; but besides that, regular health checkups, following the immunization schedule, and appropriate healthcare steps at home – all play a crucial role in boosting your child’s immunity and maintaining his or her health. Keeping the needs of growing children in mind, we bring you some useful articles on how you can keep your kid healthy and strong.

My younger son, aged 2.5 years, weighs 11 kg; however the ideal weight chart for children shows that his weight should be 14 kg. Is my child underweight or normal?
(Speciality: Doctor)
 
Your child may be slightly underweight as compared to other children of his age. But, if he is healthy and active, you need not worry about this at all. Just ensure that your child eats healthy and nutritious meals and plays around as all children do. If he is eating well but still does not gain weight, he may be constitutionally an ectomorph. This would be perfectly normal for him.
