Febrile Seizure and poor appetite in 2 year old
Hello,My 2 year old is underweight (21 lbs) and has very poor appetite. I struggle to get him the daily calories let alone needed vitamins.
Recently on his 2nd birthday he had a Febrile seizue (103.3 degrees) and had another one 3 weeks later (103 temp).
He is very outgoing but does have a huge temper if he does not get what he wants.
Can you please suggest what can be given to
- Improve his appetite
- Control Febrile Seizure
- temper
?
I have consulted numerous doctors and nobody thought he had any physical issues. I am at a loss right now :(.
Thank you!

Hello,
Thank you very much for responding.
Initial 3 months of breast feeding went fine and he had pretty good appetite. I had to go back to work and hence we started him on pumped breast milk in a bottle. I think all the appetite problems started after that. He has never complained about abdominal pain or anything else.
What food does he like best?
- I cant tell what he likes the best. He likes rice krispies, cream puffs, peanut butter but he gets bored of them with in a week. He likes PIzza now.
What he likes best, salty or sweet?
- He likes mildly sweet food
Does he have any kind of allergy or rash?
- None. No allergy or rashes.
He was not chewing/did not know to chew until he was about 20 months. So we were crushing the food and feeding him. He has gotten a lot better now that he asks for specific food and tries to eat them. But still I am not able to get him to eat enough calories in a day. He eats about 800 calories a day and that too with very much effort on my part.
Thank you and Appreciate your help!

ey.
From what I can understand, your son needs a medicine called Calcarea Phosphorica.
Start treatment with Calc phos 30C. One dose in the morning and one dose in the evening. A dose is 3 pills under the tongue, let them melt before swallowing.
Try this for 3 days, then take contact with me again.

Thank you very much!
I will try Calc Phos and report back.
A question though. I dont think my son will let me put the pill under the tongue. Can I dissolve it in water instead?

Yes, you can dissolve pills in water.
Actually a pretty good idea. Take five pills in half a glass of water, stir after they are dissolved.
Take a teaspoon and give to your son. Put the rest of the water in the fridge, with a lid, for example plastic wrap over the glass.
Next dose toy can do the same, stir, with a clean teaspoon. You can also use the same mixture all three days.
