No need to give any medication to increase the appetite. Keep the baby under light diet, dilute milk, warm water. Appetite will be normal by it self .

Agnisandipan Ras is not recommended for children below 5 years of age due to its strong herbo-mineral ingredients. It should only be used if specifically prescribed after proper evaluation. For more details, you can book a one on one consultation.

In this age, generally children learn a lot of new things, that is why their attention is diverted from food. If their weight is in the normal range, then do not worry at all, just keep in mind that if they eat less food, it should be nutritious. Still if you want to give something as a digestive or appetizer just add black salt, hing or ajwain to their food ,fruits or salads in any edible form
Next Steps
take consultation and find the root cause

It’s common for toddlers to have fluctuations in appetite, especially around 18 months when teething, minor illnesses, or developmental changes like increased activity or asserting independence can impact eating habits. Regarding Agnisandipan Ras: Agnisandipan Ras is a classical Ayurvedic formulation used to improve digestion and appetite by enhancing Agni (digestive fire). However, it contains metals like mercury (Parada), sulfur (Gandhak), and other ingredients not recommended for children under 5 years old unless prescribed by an Ayurvedic pediatrician (Baalrog specialist).

Makes no sense. There are far more easier ways of currecting agni which are less harmful. Taking rasa compounds without guidance can have detrimental effects. First you need to completely stop giving milk in any form and make him follow HAIP DIET. Do a free prakriti parikshan on health121 dot in and give him bhunimbadi kadha for 15 days. This is just basic treatment and a better prescription can be provided if proper symptom analysis and root cause analysis is done.

Agnisandipan Ras may help improve appetite, but it's best to avoid giving it to children without proper evaluation. At 18 months, digestion is delicate. Please consult for a safe and age-appropriate Ayurvedic plan.
