Pediatrician 's  Response
Behavioural problems related to feeding and activity is common in this age group , but excluding organic causes such as anemia , hypothyroidism is important .
I recommend doing the following :
Blood tests : Cbc , thyroid function test , creatinine
In some refractory cases to behavioral modification , some medications can help like periactin.
Refere to the pediatrician for the above medicine and blood tests
I hope this helps
