sadly there is no remedy to increase appetite. make a schedule or time table, give food everyday at the same time . place food in a neutral area for fifteen minutes and politely take the plate away after fifteen minutes. never force a child . tell stories to make food appealing and encourage pysical activity in the child. never give food in between the decided time. as long he is healthy and maintaing wieght he should be fine
