Hi
Thanks for healthcare magic
In mentally retarded children, you have to give special attention like take help of special educator who could improve her eating habits. In medicine, you cab try appetizer that help to increase appetite. Better to control her seizure. Sometime, due to continuous seizure, patient's appetite decreases. In that case, controlling seizure would help you a lot. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
