Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Probably your nephew is suffering from viral hepatitis.
Usually we recommend fat free diet with plenty of carbohydrates mainly glucose.
Children with hepatitis have poor appetite.
Estimation of serum bilirubin regularly till it is less than 1.5 mg%.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
