Diagnosed With Throat Infection. Not Having Diet. Concerned?
Hi, My 15 months old baby was diagnosed with throat infection 6 days ago, he is being on antibiotics since then but he won't eat anything, he is just drinking milk but that 's it. sometimes he may have a little bit of some king os solid food or a little bit of fruit juice, Im really concerned I mean he s always been a good eater and he even lost some weight, we do not know what to do. Please any advice would be very helpful. Thanks..

Hi,
Children during illness fail to eat like they normally did.Its due to the illness and sometimes due to the medications.I think you can relax he will regain his appetite in a few days.
Keep on offering him small portions of food and liquids.You could supplement him with some multivitamins for few days.
Regards
Take care
