Hello, Starting to lose weight means that the child is heading towards deny Chat Doctor.  Since it seems that the child is not responding to regular medications, you should get a stool analysis done for him. Stool analysis will find out exactly which organism is causing him the problem and treat accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
