Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern
But there is nothing to worry as of now
He is recovering from a viral illness
It will take a few more days for his appetite and normal playfulness to return(post viral anorexia)
Since fever disappeared, no need of any test
Just give small but frequent diet
Change diet menu to include items he loves a bit
He will be alright shortly
I hope this answer will help
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Viral fever only
Detailed Answer:
Hello
As discussed earlier, it’s a viral illness only
Low WBC count (leukopenia) is very common here.
Apart from bed rest , enough fluids and a good diet, nothing extra is needed
If at all, you can give him SYRUP BECOSULES 5ml once daily for 1-2 weeks. It’s a multi vitamin
Take care
