Hi Doc, My daughter an year old weighs only 8 kg. And has decrease in appetite, earlier she used to have a little however now she doesn't seem to have any variety of food, sometimes she goes without eating for days.

Her weight is less than expected for age. Anemia must be ruled out as cause of poor appetite and growth . Must be evaluated for same and may need iron tonics and/or appetizers based on that
