HI
Well come to HCM
He is just 6 years old still there are enough chance to increase the height and weight physiologically, if this is not normal height and weight according to age then this may be due to slow mile stone and this may come around, till then just wait and watch, there is no medicine available ideally, underlying cause is matter, take care.
