Hi,

How is weight and height- adequate fro age? It will be fine if you can get his hemoglobin done to rule out anemia, which can present like this. If anemic, giving iron supplements can correct this. Meanwhile, include lot of green leafy vegetable, fruits and nuts in diet as these are rich in iron and other micro-nutrients.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
