Ideally, this should be asked of the prescribing doctor and different medication prescribed, or dosage adjusted. I think that you are saying that that doctor is not responsive? Any other doctor is not feasible?

If the medication is working and otherwise satisfactory, there are a couple of other things that can be tried. I don't know if the child's symptoms are mild enough thathe can go without meds on the week-ends. During that time, he might be able to eat more. Another option would be to supplement his diet with Carnation Instant Breakfast or Ensure.
