Weight loss of my child
My son is 14months old. He weighed around 11kgs 2weeks back. But last week he had viral infection. He was not eating, he was cranky and fussy. We had given him zincovit 1ml per day.
But yesterday when we measured his weight he was only 10kgs which means he has lost 1 kg in a week. We are really worried.
What should I feed him to get back his proper health?

Do not worry.
All babies loose weight during viral illness, so wait for couple of weeks to regain the weight.
Give him a healthy food in small amounts and in frequent intervals. Do not force him.
Next Steps
Give plenty of liquids/ water
