What Kind Of Tonic Can Use To Increase The Appetite?
My husband is bed bound resulting from severe stroke last Aug. He needs extra protein and just plain food to help heal what was a severe bed sore (almost well). My question is: What kind of tonic can I give him to increase his appetite? I make him all kinds of good food like what he used to like and he doesn't eat well. It's as if his total diet has changed or something.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband, looking to his history giving him any appetizer is not advisable, instead he should be courage to eat with happy mind, he seems in depression due to his disease so this is just likely that he must be having appetite, he is in need of good moral support and that would be good appetizer for him, hope this information helps you, have a good day.
