Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
When the baby suffers from cold, usually refuge feeds.
Normally appetite will be less at the end of one year.
Babies triple their birth weight at the end of one year and they only gain 2 to 2 1/2 kg at the end of two years.
The medicines you are giving are not responsible for loss of appetite.
Take more tine and feed with tender loving care.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
