Low weight and not gaining much
My cousin is 18 yrs old. She weighs only 40kg. She not putting on weight for a long time. We consulted general physician and no health related issues are observable.
No one else in the family has any weight related problems.
What could cause her not to put on weight?
I am not sure if it's relevant but would like to mention that she had a monkey bite long time back.

Hi,
Glad to see your concern towards your cousin. We need to go step-wise to resolve the issue.
Next Steps
First step, is to carry out a detailed assessment to find the cause of low weight status. As your GP has ruled out any health related issue, we need to assess her diet, lifestyle and stress levels. Many a times, emotions interfere with our eating habits. You can consult me for the same. We shall sit through and discuss this and amicably reach a suitable care plan for you.
