Anil is suffering from a disease called marasmus.
It is caused due to the deficiency of nutrients like protein, calories, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc.
Marasmus can be treated by providing nutrient rich diet to the child.
The milk or milk powder and vegetable oils should be provided to him.
A good intake of fluid is also necessary.
