I appreciate your concern.
give your child balanced diet.which should include milk and milk products,green leafy vegetables,pulses.fruit,salad.
stop all kind of junk food because they interfere with appetite of children.
encourage him for outdoor games.
Do not worry your son will be fine
God bless.
