What To Do For A Child That Refuses To Eat And Is Losing Weight With Recurrent Cold ?
My 21 months old son refuses to eat. For the past week I've decided to wean him because of this same issue, he's loosing weight and I don't know what to do! He also has a cold that keeps reoccurring even though I took him to the doctor and he prescribed antibiotics and other medicine. What should I do?
