After that his weight is decreasing half to one kilograms. He is looking like two years old child. Please tell me how to increase his weight.

Don't stop his food during his illness that could be reason for his loosing wt during illness. Add ghee or oil in his diet and leave him free to choose his home made and dairy diet. I hope child shall start gaining wt if he is not suffering from any disease. Supplement diet with vitamin and Iron.
