Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...7 year with 14 kg is definitely very abnormal weight and your son requires evaluation by a physician/ paediatrician for failing to thrive and the possibilities can be -
1. Chronic malabsorption
2. Micro Nutrient deficiency
3. Immunodeficiency either primary or acquired.
