hi, this is pneumonia infection your child is suffering from. he needs antibiotics for this. please see the pediatrician for the complete treatment. once the infection is cured, the appetite will automatically increase. you can give him milk and milk products, dry fruits, fresh fruits along with the routine diet. start with multivitamin with Zinc will help to recover fast. if the appetite is not increased you can give appetizers also, but with the pediatricians instruction.
