Hi and thanks for the query,
Fluctuating appetite might require a more critical review before taking particular actions. Fever, diarrheoa, weight loss and general patient outlook should be carefully considered. This shall help determine whether special tests or blood work up be done or not. Certain infections like urinary tract infections in children and also some metabolic diseases might present as such
This is why a proper clinical review is required. I suggest you consult a pediatrician for a proper review. thanks and kind regards.

milk theory is different
child ned only breast milk for 2 years and after that no milk
if we give other milk or powder it is animal protein which is non competible with human proteins
so switch our to other foods like fruits vegetables soups
he will grwproperly
