I don't know if it's related to his cold or he's going through a phase. shall I take him to the doctor or just wait? I give him plenty of liquids and he doesn't seem too poorly so I'm confused many thanks Andrea

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
3 years old child usually has food fads ,more so when he is suffering from cold and loose motions.
Persuade the child to eat with tender loving care.
Treat for cold and loose motions if they persist for more than 3-5 days.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
