Sorbitol is given for hepatic failure cases. To increase appetite iron supplements you can use. Ask your pediatrician for proper diet chart and other supplements. For your baby's sake please don't start anything advised by your pharmacist or google.

Kids appetites take a dip in the summers due to the heat. Introduce new food items, prefer giving more liquids and semisolids, like juices, milkshakes, soups. Even then if your child doesn't accept food, kindly consult your pediatrician. Do not rely on pharmacist's opinion. There is a reason he is just a pharmacist and not a doctor
