Answer and Explanation:
Symptoms of kwashiorkor
Children with kwashiorkor often have very little body fat, but this is not always the case. Edema can mask how little body weight a child has. The child may appear to be a typical weight or even plump, but this appearance is swelling due to fluid, not the presence of fat or muscle.
Symptoms may include:
- loss of appetite
- changes in the color of the hair, which may appear yellow or orange
- dehydration
- pitting edema or swelling, usually on the legs and feet, when pressing the skin leaves a finger mark
- lack of muscle and fat tissues
- lethargy and irritability
- dermatosis, or skin lesions that are cracked, flaky, patchy, depigmented, or have a combination of these characteristics
- frequent skin infections or slow healing wounds
