Hi guys, please I really need your help.

I have a twelve years old son who is very lanky, he looks d*mn too malnourished for comfort. He was very robust from birth till around the age of 8, when all of a sudden he started depreciating, initially, we thought it was a normal thing, as he was growing taller too, but now, I can't even bring myself to post his pictures on my status. He looks just like 7up's Fido Dido.

Now, this is a boy who eats whatever he wants, he's well fed, and lacks nothing. But with his looks, you will doubt that he's even fed at all. Although he looks far from being healthy, but he rarely falls sick. He's so skiny that whoever sees him, asks us what's wrong with him. Another thing, he always leaves his mouth opened, something that has now affected his teeth. We tried every tricks in the book to stop this, but to no avail, he can hardly keep his lips shut for more than 30 seconds.

Now, he's is a very hyperactive boy and finds it difficult concentrating atimes, but he's well above average in school.

Kindly help with solutions to this problem, it brings tears to my eyes as we have done everything we can think of to reverse this. Recently, a doctor suggested we place him on egg regimen, he now eats 3 eggs daily, but there seems to be no changes whatsoever.
Recommended medications, specialist or hospital we can take him to, preferably in the South West would be highly appreciated.

He's my only child, please help a desperate father!!!🥺

I have no clue as to what can be done about his physique.

My contribution would be about the keeping of the mouth open and his academics.

I think keeping the mouth open is a dental/dentition problem. The dentition is what makes it difficult for him to keep the mouth closed, not the mouth affecting the teeth. You should see a dentist about this. It's better now that he's still young.

If you want improvement in his academics then get him home tutors and ensure that he sits through. If you have good tutors and follow through with him then in no time he would be at the top of his class. He would love the accolades that comes with it and it would inspire him. By this time he would have developed serious interest and would do whatever it takes to remain at the top.

Take him to specialist hospital or correct gov hospital.

Perhaps he has breathing issues hence his frequent opening of his mouth. If he uses lots of energy to breathe, that may affect his weight gaining. Try correct hospital abeg

Hyperthyroidism, Obstructive Sleep apnea, Klinefelter, Marfan, Type 1 DM.

These are some of the differentials that came to mind from your story. You need to visit a specialist (Paediatrician) for a proper clinical examination.

Please take this very seriously. You can contact me for a preliminary review.

The picture explains it better. BE YOU... I guess he is just being himself.

Might be a result of health complications. Take him for a general check-up.

@OP as long as he's healthy, please allow the boy grow the way God intended.
Same thing my parents are saying, but bring his father, I am not happy of the way he looks. He's so different from his peers, and I am afraid if he reaches his teenage years like that, he might have problems with friends .
