Mgt: Children can have a number of colds in the course of one year, but the weight loss is excessive. Children at this age should gain weight steadily. Your physician may recommend a diet to include more calories and protein. In the meantime, if there is any respiratory difficulty such as air hunger, shortness of breath or wheezing, please see your ED at the hospital. Watch for prolonged fever.
