Brief Answer:
All seems to be normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi...everything form history seems to be normal.
He is not failing to thrive. His height and weight are in good centiles.
The dark circles around the eyes are called allergic shiners and are a peripheral markers of allergy.
The only thing I would suggest is to get a renal function rest done and along urine disptic test. This is to rule out renal tubular acidosis (extremely remote possibility) as he is loving salt.
I wish him a bright future. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below -
