How To Improve Weight And Appearance In Children?

my son is 7 yrs old and weights 45 pounds he looks very skinny and his eyes look sunked in. Ive took him many times to the pediatrician and they say he is ok that he is just like that. He did have hepatitis once and got a medicine for it and supposably went away. What should I do or should I take him somewhere else.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi. How are the food habits of the child. Is he a fussy eater? Also weight needs to be co related with the height. If the child is active, alert and playful then you should just focus more on the dietary habits of the child.
