Question My grandfather has no appetite and won't eat. What is safe that we can ask for him to be given to help him have an appetite?
Answer It is in your best interests to take your grandfather to his doctor for a complete physical examination. Once his doctor determines the cause of the problem he/she can determine the most appropriate treatment for your grandfather. There is no one best thing to ask for without knowing the cause of the loss of appetite. I would recommend that your grandfather see his doctor as soon as possible.
