Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Appetite In A Child

Posted on Wed, 15 Feb 2017

Question: I have twins a son and a daughter. My daughter is 13 yrs but thin from childhood. She is active but i wanted to make her health improve. Her appetite is not very good. I had tried with many remedies in the past. Years back our pediatrician gave a course of medicine for worm. After which her appetite improved but again returned back to usual. Currently i do not see any sign of worm yet her appetite is low. We made a course of homeopathy for about 6 months. During this time the results were very very good. Her overall growth and appetite improved. I was very happy about her diet. Today is about 6 months we had stopped the homeopathy treatment and she has again back to usual. She has started showing her dislikes about food. We are non veg eaters and mostly eat fish. Egg is the only thing she likes. But during the days of her treatment she use to like all type of food. Can you suggest me something to improve her appetite?

Brief Answer:
If homeopathy has given relief earlier, you should try it again.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Unfortunately in modern medicine there is no effective medicine available that can help in improving appetite. If you have tried homeopathy and have found a solution that works, there is no reason that you should look any further. My suggestion would be that you go back to the homeopathic doctor and ask for the same medicine.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
