My Son Has Pot Belly Please Help Him And Tell What The Problem Could Be?
My son is six years old. He is very active child and has no health problems and complaints. The only problem is that he has a pot belly which is very prominent. I have consulted doctors and till date nothing has helped. He has no problem in passing stools.He does not complain of stomach related problems and his digestion also seems to be absolutely normal. Can someone help and tell what the problem could be?
