Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. I have a few questions and will suggest few possibilities.
Questions:
1. What was the birth weight and what is the current weight?
2. How is the attaining of developmental milestones?
3. Is the stool oily and floats in the pan?
4. Is there any colour change in the hair or skin?
5. Is there any history of recurrent serious infections?
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 wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
