Not eating food

2020-11-10 00:01:13
Hello, My son is 2 years old. He is not eating anything except cerelac since 3 days. Actually, we travelled by road from Pune to Nagpur, during traveling he didn't eat anything except breast milk. Now after reaching home, he is not eating anything except cerelac. We visited pediatrician, he said it seems my son is Anemic. Now we need to confirm this by testing his blood which is not yet done. Can you please suggest? Also note that he is getting irritated very frequently and not willing to walk as well. Thanks.
