Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
A six year child is very hungry means, he is in want of semi solid foods, what ever the amount if liquid you give,immediately it excreted as urine, and again he feels hungry.mothers milk wont be sufficient by quality as well.
Water you can give in average quantity. Milk you give bufallo milk, or formula milk, you also can give veining food, like cerelac, boiled potato, apple, etc.
If you have any doubt you consult your doctor for clarification.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
