What Causes Rapid Weight Loss In A Child?
My child is complaining that she always feels full, so she doesn t eat very much if she eats at all. I hear her stomach gurgling so I know she is hungry. She is 7 and has been losing weight over the last couple of weeks. We have been referred to a pediatric GI doctor, but the appt is out a month. Is this urgent? Should we use the emergency room to see a doctor? Does anyone have an ideas as to what could be causing this?

Hello,
Loss of appetite could be due to worms, give syrup Vermox 1 TSF twice a day for 3 days. Also, start syrup Lysovit 1 TSF daily for one month, it will improve health and hunger.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
