2 Get his dental check-up done, rule out chronic tonsillitis, give him a course of de-worming after consultation with the pediatrician. A general check-up will help.

3. The following syrups will help bring up his appetite:
a. Syp. Aptivate
b. Syp. Visyneral
c. Syp. Shelcal
d. Syp. Alfa Alfa (homeopathic)
e. Srp. Cypon (cyproheptadine)
The first and the last two syrups should be given in succession (one at a time). The second and the third can be given with the rest. These syrups can be given once or twice daily.

4. His immune power will also improve with a good diet. Immunity improves with exposure to infections and allergens. Encourage him to be active in sports.

If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for writing back.

1. A Vegetarian diet is good for health. If you allow dairy products and eggs, it is a fairly sufficient in 'first class' proteins that are normally absent in pure vegetarian diets. In such cases Soya products are recommended.

2. The other supplements advised include Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Calcium, Zinc and Iron. thus s why I have recommended the above syrups.

3. There is no other major difference between Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian diets.

If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
