Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

The first possibility is of LIV 52 syrup 15-30 min before meal.It will stimulate secretion of bile and increase appetite.

The second possibility is of enzymes syrup as it may cause complete digestion and absorption food and feeling of hungriness.

The last possibility is of any probiotics(Darolac or Vizylac 1 capsule daily for 1 month) which may help to normalize flora of intestine.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you and child good health and good appetite.
