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 appetite like iron deficiency which is most common. Supplements like iron supplements and mulgtivitagmin 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 first , avoid giving antibiotics frequently you need to focus on strengthning your child immunity. so ,give Green veggies, citrus fruits,nuts , pulses etc more to your child. keep your child well hydrated give sunlight atleast 20 minutes a day. give Tulsi and ajwain leaves with pinch of salt and Turmeric powder, and few drops of lemon juice daily in morning.
