hi
as it is prescribed by your pediatrician ,it must be safe.
but instead of giving any medicines on daily basis ,I will suggest you to opt for natural.
I mean ,for your problem.
please offer homemade healthy food.
offer Starch rich food like boiled potatoes,sweet potatoes,rice to your child.
give energy dense fruits like apples banana papaya etc to your child.
add dairy products like paneer curd ghee milk etc in your child's diet.
give massage to your child daily.
maintain good hygiene.
use natural herbs and spices like ginger, garlic pods , ajwain seeds etc while making food for your child it will work as natural apetizer.
maintain proper gap between meal and snack time.
encourage your child to do more physical activities and let him or her feels hungry.
