Hi there ~
Picky and fussy eaters are common in childhood. It is advisable to give multivitamin syrups and micronutrient syrups for such children. There are no known side effects of such medications. Your child will outgrow from being a picky and fussy eater. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day !
