Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Appetite In A 17 Month Old

My grandson has CP. He is 17 months old and has started to not eat. For reasons of muscle control, he is still taking a bottle and eating early years or smooth baby food. He needs calories so we add oatmeal to the high calorie formula, have tried ensure, and other things, but he just wont eat! My daughter is getting so frustrated and doesn t get much help when she calls her doctor. She also has a 11 week old daughter who is fine but my daughter feels like she is neglecting her because she spends so much time with her son. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Many appetite stimulants are available in the market containing lycine. You can start Vidaylin L syrup twice a day to stimulate hunger and also it contains vitamin B complex good for health. Its true chest pain child needs attention but takes out time for other children too. You can ask your husband or mother to look after him and you can give time to your girl.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
