Cure for Extremly week personality

Hi, I am too week. My height is 5 feet 9 inch and weight is just 52 kg. And the biggest problem is that I have only bones in my body even a 7-8 year child has thiker arms than me. I consulted with some physician but they all asked me to take healthy food and prescribed vitamins tablets. I had all these things for three months but I could get only 2 kg weight (50 to 52).Please guide me regarding this and tell me which specific type of doctor I should consult.

It may be worthwhile to see a nutritionist - they can recommend supplements that are high in calories that will help you gain weight.
But the other significant question is why you are so thin? There are many medical conditions that could contribute to this - I suggest seeing an internal medicine specialist to explore possibilities. Take care.
