What Causes Fatigue, Slow Growth, Weight Loss And Bloating In Children?
Hello, I have a nephew suffering from a strange disease. It started with him getting tired easily. Then his growth slowed down. He lost weight. He's belly became enlarged. He used to be a very active kid. Now, he just sits there and stays inside the house. I just want to know what we can do to help him regain his health.

Hi...By what you quote the first thing which comes to my mind with the minimal information I have here is that he might be having a chronic liver disease or a chronic renal disease. But this cannot be left like this and definitely needs evaluation. Moreover his loss of interest in the surroundings also signifies liver disease.
I suggest you get him evaluated by a pediatrician.
