My son is 13 years old. He is 50 KGS and 5 ft tall. He is showing low BP since aug 2016. First time when we checked on 28th Aug 16, it was 80/58. He also had cold and cough that time with slight fever. His fever, cold and cough went off, but bp did not improve. On 16th sept he again got fever, this time for the 1st time in his life he fainted early morning when he got up from bed and had just brushed his teeth. We took him to the doctor, he was tested for dengue, sugar, urine and thyroid. All his reports were normal. But bp was 99/60. With medication (argumentine and crocin) his fever went off. Then we checked his bp again on 19th sept it was 86/60, on 21th sept it was 90/60 and on 3 Oct it was 90/60 only. He has no other problem. He is generally on homeopathy treatment whenever he gets cold and cough and during fever we give him allopathy treatment with doctors concern only. Please can you suggest me what to do now for the low bp issue apart from giving him lot of fluids and juices.

Probably Bp cuff is of wrong size for his body weight. Adult BP cuff will show lower value when used for children. And lower BP is normal baseline for many thin people. Nothing to worry till he is not symptomatic. Add bit of salt in diet.
