Doctors for Kwashiorkor Treatment in Chandanagar

Kwashiorkor is a serious form of malnutrition that happens when a child does not get enough protein, even if they eat enough calories. It can cause swelling, a puffy belly, weak muscles, tiredness, skin and hair changes, and slow growth. It is most common where food is scarce or diets are very unbalanced.

Kwashiorkor may cause symptoms such as muscle wasting, increased susceptibility to infections and diarrhea. Depending on the condition and its severity, delayed medical care may result in persistent symptoms, progression of the disease, or related complications.
