My son is 2 1/2 yrs old and weighs only 23 pounds. I live in the U.S. Recently I went to India where he had viral fever and then dierhea and lost 3 pounds. Even after two months his digestive system still does not seem to have come back to normal. I am desperatley trying to increase his weight. Can anybody suggest me name of a good Multivitamin that can also increase his appetite. Melrose replied. My doc prescribed Polybion-L drops. 2.5 ml twice a day after food for a month. Don' t continue it after that, but review his weight and eating habits. It helps. And there' s nothing to worry since it is a B-Complex solution. My son also has always been a low weight baby, had diarrhoea a couple of times and is a fussy eater. Doesn' t even drink milk properly. amba replied. Hi,
I live in Dubai. Here my peadiatrician suggested Kiddie Pharmaton , a multivitamin tonic and it helped in increasing my son' s appetite. Anyway, make sure from ur doctor before giving him.
I hope this helps.
