Question: Hello Doctor,
This query is regarding my son is not taking much food. My son is 2+ years old. He used to take good amount of food every day. Past three days he is avoiding to take solid food. If we give cow milk with pediasure (we are using this past few weeks) he is having it. Could you please advice me on this, how should it proceed further.
thanks,

Brief Answer:
Rising temperatures
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would suggest you to check the temperature. With the rising weather temperatures growing kids like to gulp than chew and swallow. So keep this in mind while preparing food for the kid. Make it soft and easily gulpable like water. E.g Kichdi, Barley water, Coconut water, rice water are palatable. Add some lime / salt to taste to the food prepared.
Hope this answers.
