What Causes Constant Hunger?

My son tells me that he is constantly hungry he eats all his breakfast lunch and supper and sandwiches or other things in between. this has just recently started. normally he is not hungry due to taking adderal xr. He has been obsessing over a tick mark from a tick over 2 years ago.the doctor checked it out. he is also saying that his ribs on the left side are causing pain and it is getting more intense each day only sometimes. he is only 16?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I am sorry to say this, but the symptoms your son is expressing doesn't not fit into any known clinical syndrome and diagnosis. i suggest you get him evaluated by a psychologist. He also might be having binge eating which needs evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
