Hi...there are medicines which can increase appetite, but, they will cause drowsiness and hence I usually I do not recommend them. At his age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If he is active and playing around you need not worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed him and also make whatever you feed him calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.
