Abstract: Mrs Thomas, a homemaker, took her only child, 18-month-old Marcy, to the family clinic for fever and running nose. You diagnosed the common fl u and was about to prescribe paracetamol when Mrs Thomas mentioned her concern that Marcy was not gaining weight and looked skinny compared to other children in the neighbourhood. She asked you if there was anything seriously wrong with Marcy and requested vitamin supplements to boost her appetite.
