Appetite Concerns

Asked for Male, 9 years

My son does not eat anything. He just takes fresh milk and formula milk. I have tried many ways to let him eat other things. I also give him appetite syrup recommended by doctor but no improvement. He is getting weaker day by day. What to do?

Dear Patient,

Please give him 5ml of Syrup Vermox as a single dose. He may have no appetite due to worms in the stomach which are common for his age.
Give him Syrup Lederplex 1/2tsp twice a day to increase his appetite. If you give him milk he will always refuse food. If the child is over 2yrs, restrict his daytime intake of milk so that he eats food. No child can stay hungry. He will eventually eat within a week if you stay focused.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
