Hi. Most  of the kids refuse to eat food . This is the complaint of 99% mothers.  This fussy eating is normal in young child. We can check the weight and height of the child and if it is normal then nothing to worry.  I don't recommend cyproheptadine syrups for decreased appetite as it has side effects.
