A. Good Growth of the child is very important and for this most important is that child should take a healthy diet where its necessary to give a balance diet which should contain all the nutrition required. This is very important for building the immunity also. Encourage for green vegetables fruits dairy products all kinds of dal and other protein containing food items like soyabean eggs etc. Some nutritional deficiencies can be a cause for less appetiteg like iron deficiency which is most common. Supplements like iron supplements anhd multivitamin with lysine like syp zincovit CL can be given for 1-2 months to increase the appetite. Diet counselling is also very important .

A. Hi A lot of time these things can happen you do a deficiency of iron in the body so you can go ahead with that giving an iron supplement to the child but before you start with anything you’ll have to take a consultation with you’re treating doctor
