About that anxiety: That is the curse of having health anxiety. Normal bodily functions and abnormal bodily functions all are perceived as signs of illness... making it very difficult for either the parent or the doctor to tell when the child is actually sick. This situation can be very hard on the child's development, which means the parent must get treatment (so that the child can grow up normally).

Agree w Dr Kwok: I agree with Dr Kwok, the Anxiety is a concern. Your son's measurements are within normal limits for a child his age. Support healthy eating habits and use positive reinforcement for active behavior.
