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. Supplecments like iron supplements and multivitamin with lysine like syp zincovit CL can be given for 1-2 months to increase the appetite. f Diet counselling is also very important .

A. U I would just like to tell you that you should not force the child as of now it could be due to deficiency of iron in the body so you should just get a check with your doctor to understand it more and according to that only the doctor would be able to help you with the correct supplement
