1.5 Yrs Old Is Very Reluctant To Eat Food. Doctor Suggested Aristozyme. Is It Safe?
My daughter is 1.5 yrs old. She is very reluctant to food. Due to this, we feed her only rasam rice with dhal. Even that with greatest effort. She does not take any fruits or vegetables or idly , dosa anything. I am very much worried about her health and eating habits. Doctor suggested me to give Aristozyme syrup for enhancing the apetite. Please suggest me if this is worth giving without any side effects.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Relax,there is nothing to worry.
children are very fussy eaters and you need to be very patient with them.
I suggest you to do few things.
-feed her when other family members are also eating.
-do two spoon method that is one spoon to her and second to yourself.
-allow her to hold spoon and feed herself.
slowly she will start taking food.
Regarding aristozyme it contain enzymes and you can give it but for few days only.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless..

hello,
Aristozyme Syrup is an over the counter liquid digestive enzymes which works well for treating digestive problems. it contains Diastase Plus Pepsin enzymes which is helpful in digestion.No side effects as such administering the medication but you have to identify root cause of not eating properly.
is that only her digestion?
For best results use Aristozyme Syrup only after taking meal so that the enzymes can improve the digestive metabolism of the body and help you digest food easily.
make sure your child is not having worms in her intestine because worms also causes less apetite. you can give one dose of albendazole for deworming, it is recommended once in 6 month.
give her food of her taste, dont worry , dont force her for eating every time
take care
