Malnutrition

Question

Malnutrition

Asked for Female, 3 Years

My daughter has visible veins on her upper palms right after a cold. Earlier she used to eat food properly, but once she completed 2 years she is not focusing on food. She is very active and cheerful like before but her weight loosing is becoming a concern. As a father I'm worried. Let me also inform that she was suffering from cold and fever few days back and we gave her sinarest cold and paracetamol for this. And she has lost weight during that time, even though she still had a running nose. Overall I'm concerned about her health and want her to stay fit without these vein lines on her upper palm and ankle.
