I am 10, between about 1.3m to 1.2m, weigh 24kg and I haven t had any major illnesses, apart from being knocked out for a few seconds (I think) after a fall when I was around six or seven. I don t get thirsty, even when my friend, who is the same age as me, was extremely thirsty. I m also really thin, with not much muscle or fat. Is this dangerous? If so, what can I do?
Dear, You are absolutely fine and feeling less thirsty is not a problem. 60% of our body is composed of water and intake of 2 to 3 ltd of water per day is good. Please try to see that you are taking at least 2 to 3 ltd per day water, buttermilk or any home fluids. Your weight of 24 is less for that age. You should be 30 to 34kgs. So, please see that you take high energy dense food in small quantities more frequently, like black gram and Jagger powder, groundnut , jaggery and ghee powder, boiled and cooked pulses.
