How to improve eating habit for my kid
Patient: My son is 1.5 years old. He doesn t eat anything with interest. We need to pressurise and push in food into him deliberately. I feel he doesn t feel hungry at all because he doesn t ever come runnign towards food. Have tried all types of food, veg,nonveg,eggs everything. He also has just 4 teeth till now. Can you suggest some medicines to increase his interest in food? Doctor: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.I need to know more before I can answer your in a better way . 1. What is weight of your child.2. Is your Child active.Medicines are not going to increase interest in food unless reason for it is known , like :- if child is anemic , iron preparations are going to help.If your child is underweight(less than 10 kg )  , pale , not active , there is abdominal distension , he needs to be evaluated  by a pediatrician to find the cause  and treat accordingly .If his weight is normal (10-11 kg)  growth is OK , baby is  active  , problem may be simply forced feeding of child leading to aversion of food.Regarding giving or adding medicines you need to consult your doctor .Hope this answers your question.
