Brief Answer:
You can use.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thanks for posting the query,

Yes you can use this syrup for your son. This is an iron supplement. Usually iron deficiency is the main cause of low appetite and reduced weight gain.

Along with this i suggest you to deworm your son by giving SYR. Bandy full bottle in the night. Give it only once any day. Then start on Tonoferon and Ultra D3 syrup.

Take care.
