Hi, tis condition could either be a normal phenomenon in your child or it could be due to a Thyroid disorder(Hypothyroidism). Just get a Serum Thyroid profile done for your child. If the Thyroid profile is normal, you dont need to worry about any thing, If he comes out to be hypothyroid, He will have to be started on Tab thyronin for a long time.
Thanks.
Take care
