Toddler not eating since 10 days

2017-06-20 18:13:25
My toddler has suddenly stopped eating since 10 days. He started with having only half of what he generally had and now he has completely stopped feeding. He is irritable and throws tantrums. He is just having some milk for his meals around 150 ml at times. Please suggest what to do

Hi, thanks for writing to Practo consult. 10 days of not having food, means there must be underlying problem. May be local cause in oral cavity (mouth) or something else. Do consult pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
