Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My15months old baby boy doesnt eat properly.He had running nose and dry cough a couple of weeks ago. He had been vomiting whenever I tried to give him his meds. He did not eat anything except for water and a little milk. He s an above avg baby he weighed 13,6kg last week. But now he has gone down without eating. How to make him eat? He becomes very tired without proper food. He also has signs of cutting his molars. His gums are a tad swollen but not red. He cries every night after giving paracetamol he calms down. He also had ear infection along with cold I gave antibiotics and I think he s ok. I can t figure out the reason for his break down. Pls suggest some relief
Hi.....I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - At his age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If he is active and playing around you need not worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed him and also make whatever you feed him calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
