My son had a second surgery on his knee two weeks ago. Since the surgery he is very fatigue, nauseted, and can barely eat or drink. I took him to urgent care and they rehydrated him gave him zofran and nucynta. He is off the meds now. Then he got the flu. He has lost 30 lbs in two weeks. I took him back to the doctor today and labs were drawn and normal. He did eat two salmon patties then felt sick. Lights hurts his eyes. Please help
Hi.sorry to hear about your sons condition.it is normal to have loss of appetite after surgery and added to it, he had flu that further worsens his appetite. Your did not mention for what he had the surgery for. Anyway during recovery period give bland diet like oatmeal, bread.fruit juices and soups. Advise bed rest and plenty of oral fluids. He will get his appetite in a weeks time. Good day
