My son won't eat

My 5 year old son has suddenly decided not to eat his food for the past week, he wasn't a huge eater anyway, he also suffers from constipation in which he is on Movicol and lactulose. I am really worried about him because his ribs are showing under his skin and his belly is bloated. I heard you can get paediatric high calorie drinks so I took him to the doctor earler this week and she just referred him to a dietian but that will take weeks! He has had a cough for about four weeks now but that was dimissed as viral. Has anyone had any problems of this as well? Any ideas? I'm at my wits end.

 

Thanks
