3.3 year old boy who does not eat anything properly

 have a 3.3 year old boy who does not eat anything properly, and does not take even liquid foods, he looks so week and lean and we are very much worried about him.I agree that this is the most commonest questions.....but still as a parent we cannot see him growing so weak at this stage.His is 12 or 13 Kgs as of now, please suggest what medications have to be followed, I m also attaching his recent picture  
 
all this feeling may also be related to his feeding and diet habits since birth. so accordingly for indian settings 13 kg for 3 years isnt bad.. but surely is low. more commonly with low intake its common to have various vitamin mineral and calcium deficiency. as this has happened over 3 years, it can be changed like magic in 2 months, but surely within an year of dietary reforms and supplements you may find gain in weight.
another common thing that needs to be ruled out in suspected not gaining weight is common infections like throat infections, adenoids, tonsils, TB etc and/or any long standing illness.
please write back at the site with his details of diet per day on ana average, say 15 days back. i will surely eb able to suggets something. also read http://infantfeeding.blogspot.com
