Hi, My son is 19 months old and he is extremely poor eater. Is there anything I can give him to improve his appetite. I heard that in homeopathy line there is this medicine/ tonic named â??Alfalfaâ?? does that really help to improve appetite in toddler? Is there any other medicine that can improve his appetite.. Thanks, Santy

Hello,
Firstly, I would like to know current weight of your child and his daily diet chart to quantify his poor appetite. Secondly, I would not recommend herbal medicine because research on this medicine is not known to me. The tonics which contain Lycine improves appetite in medical research. Thirdly, reducing the quantity of milk and shifting diet to solids help improving appetite.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
