Suggest Treatment To Promote Weight Gain In A Child

Hi, I have a daughter of 11 years, since she is prematurned she is 17 kgs now. Physically & mentally she is very active. Past 2 weeks she has got cold & fever due to change in climate of rain & sun ,when consulted to a different doctor while her regular doctor is on leave. They gave her mild dose where is has still light fever until yesterday. On consulting 3rd doctor he has prescribed medicine which she is ok today. My concern is when is she going to gain weight. Please suggest for some good tonic/method where it is really beneficial to her. Chetna

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Please tell the medicines she took. Of she was premmie what was her weight ? and at one eawr ? when did she start walking and talking full sentences . All needed to assess the growth and development . Now check her CBC, PBS and Tsh in a good albe and inform me. AS I need to decide if she is hypothyroid ? and overall growth & development. Regards keep in touch.
