Hi... I understand your concern.
you can give him iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, papaya, carrot, drum stick leaves curry.
I also suggest that you get him evaluated for his thyroid status as this is a completely treatable condition and the symptoms which you are quoting are suggestive of hypothyroidism.
