Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Malabsorption syndrome , hyperthyroidism and inflammatory process in body should be ruled out in such case. You can go for routine blood test and ESR to rule out any signs of inflammatory process. Thyroid profile should be done to rule out hyperthyroidism and stool routine for malabsorption syndrome. Deworming with drugs like albendazole also should be done. Ensure that you are taking enough calories with a balanced diet and getting enough sleep daily.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
