<s>[INST] Hi My 14 months old suffered an iron burn on his hand 2 months ago. He took one month for recovery. He was on antibiotics during this period. Then he was ill with cough cold and fever. Again he on antibiotics. Again after 10 days there was a bout of cough cold and fever. Now he is recovered. He has lost around 1.5 kgs. The doctor suggested him cypon 5 drops two times a day. Also calcimax 5 ml two times a day and vitcofol syrup 2.5 ml two times a day. Since starting cypon his diet has considerably increased. Although before falling ill his diet was good and he is not a fussy eater. He likes to eat all types of food like deal rice roti veggies boiled eggs mutton soup fish dry fruits. I read about cypon side effects. Pls recommend whether I should continue it. The doc asked to give the entire bottle of 15 ml. [/INST] HI your child might have decreased appetite due to usage of antimicrobial for a longer duration. It will result in killing of good bacteria of our gut, causing decreased appetite. We usually do not advise Capon (cyproheptadine) unless severe loss in appetite is there(malnourished) as itself had side effects in child Chat Doctor. Try to give foods he is interested in gradually and increase the quantum if he tolerates. </s>
