Hi Doc,
My daughter an year old weighs only 8 kg. And has decrease in appetite, earlier she used to have a little however now she doesn't seem to have any variety of food, sometimes she goes without eating for days. I request you to suggest some syrup or tonic to increase the appetite so that she has her food.
Waiting in anticipation.
