Hi, my 5 year old is not gaining weight, can i give him paedisure to help him gain?

Sure...but: It would be reasonable to have him seen to make sure there is no subtle medical condition causing the problem. Just feeding him more calories from any source can add weight, but any overlooked condition can do more harm while you try such efforts.
