Cyproheptadine is not recommended in children due to side effects like drowsiness. Weight is in the normal range for age. Do not force feed the child as that will cause behaviour problems. As check up is normal, nothing to worry about. These phases of eating less are quite common at this age. Growth is slow after 2 years so the requirement is less. If parents were thin during their childhood, the child is also likely to be thin.
