Mgt: A virtual appointment may be booked online, and the growth chart for height, weight and head circumference may be uploaded. Since your child has a productive cough and GERD, and weight loss, I would suggest an evaluation. Chronic infection may be due to a number of causes, and weight loss in this age group is concerning.
