My daughter is not eating properly
Hello doctor,
My daughter is 2 years 4 month old and she is very adamant to eat right from the breakfast till her dinner. She wasn't like this before and since 15 days she is not eating properly. I also gave her albendazole for deworming still the problem is the same. My mother suggested me to give kunthi kumari so that she gets loose motion and it will be fine. Please suggest what can be done. If I can give kunthi kumari what should be the dosage

Please do not give anything that will cause loose motion
Children this age will have diversions . They will be playful. So they will not concentrate on eating. Try changing the food taste. Introduce new foods . Divert their attention. No need of albendazole.
Next Steps
You can give ( syrup zincovit 5 ml once a day )
( syrup activate 5 ml twice a day for 10 days )

If child is clinically active. Growth is well within the required parameters not much to worry about.
If the child dull lethargic you need to consult the doctor.
Please don't forcefeed the child. Identify the likes and dislikes of child.
Identify when the child is hungry and feed accordingly.
