Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cypon syrup is having cyproheptadine.
Cyproheptadine is appetite stimulant.
It acts on appetite center of brain.
It is safe in children.
So you can give to your son.
Dose for him would be 1.5ml thrice daily.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
