Hi,
It seem form your problem that your son has telogen effluvium- a condition of hair fall due to improper nutrition in this age group. It is a common process in all the children with poor nutrition, so do not worry. Give a very good nourishing diet. Consult a good dermatologist and have good follow up with patience and faith in your doctor. You have to give long term treatment in form of vitamins mineral treatment, it takes multiple of months to see the result.
