A. You know when a child is having too much of medication it can lead to loss of appetite and because of these medications kids don’t want to eat or try to focus more on milk as of now suits you can give you can also also give juices on room temperature and coconut water liquid khichadi and liquid porridge that is what is going to be good as of now
