What To Do If Child Is Not Eating Due To Teething And Cold Issues?
Hi there , my son has turned 1 yr old day before yesterday.
He has become so fussy may be due to his teething & cold n cough.
the most concerned thing is he is not having his diet properly, im offering him cerelac, dal, lightly stuffed rotis or cheelas, but he is just denying everything & has lost interest in eating his meals.
What should I do ?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
At his age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If he is active and playing around you need not worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed him and also make whatever you feed him calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.
This is not related to teething. If your kid is active and developmentally normal, please do not worry.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
