Diet: He should have three glasses of milk, sources of lean protein and calcium in his diet. Discuss having a Vit D level, total protein and albumin lab testing. If there are growth issues, review his growth chart or upload it to an inbox Healthtap consultation for review. If there is a a history of chronic conditions, an evaluation by Endocrinology is suggested.
