My son is 32 months old and barely weighs 25 pounds,i am very depressed about this and i really need advice to make him gain weight.He' s a very fussy eater and barely drinks milk.I dont know what to do.....he has put on 5cm in height in one year so im praying its not a thyroid problem, i live in USA and its too lonely here, the doctors also scare me a lot.Please help me.

My doctor recomended giving my son daily multivitamin with iron and also a medicine called periactin to improve his appetite.
He is eating a little better now. Periactin is actually a antihistamine used for treating allergies, but one of its side effects is increased appetite. Hope this helps. raaz replied. First of all make a time table for him ,try to follow accordingly.Give him some iron tonic daily it will improve his apetite.If he doesn' t like milk give him milk in another form,like banana shake,curd,paneer,paneer stuffed paratha,curd rice,mix milk with flour and then make chapati,fruit custard,Rice kheer,sabudana kheer,Daliya kheer,Makhana kheer,cornflakes,gazar halwa.Increase intake of fat (Ghee) and protien also.
