Suggest Treatment For Post Infection Appetite Loss In A Child
Question: Hello Doctor, our Pediatrician had earlier recommended Aptizoom syrup to enhance my 4 year old daughter's appetite. It usually worked well. Last month she got fever almost within a gap of 1 week. At that time doctor recommended Aptimust syrup for one month. Aptizoom is ayurvedic medicine whereas Aptimust is allopathic. Now she is fine but due to summer heat her appetite has waned. So just wanted to take your guidance which medicine is better and safe (or some other better option preferably Ayurvedic). Many thanks in advance.
