Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
What is the weight of your child.
This will give a clear indication if his weight is normal or not and if he is having enough calories or not.
If your child's weight is within the normal limits then you should not worry regarding his appetite as you are also reassured by your doctor.
Please reply in detail with the weight of the kid and the temperature profile.
Hope this helps
