My 16month ragdoll kitten is suffering from hairball vomiting since 2days due to which he has appetite loss and is bit lethargic. I have now begun combing him everyday. What else can I do to get him to normal health quickly

Comb him regularly as you are doing. This will remove a lot of the dead hair which otherwise your kitty would have to remove and then regurgitate as a hairball.Feed good quality food. Get some hairball remedy from a petshop and feed that according to the instructions. This should reduce the hair balls significantly. It is normal for cats to regurgitate hairballs when they are good groomers..
