My son was suffering from allergic bronchitis for the last 8-10 days. During that period he was under antibiotic medication too. Is it normal if he has lost half a kg weight during this period?

It's very normal that children lose weight when they are ill. As soon as the illness or diseased face is over the appetite will improve gradually.
