Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My granddaughter has been on antibiotics for the past 11 days & is complaining of sore legs & a sore back. She is unwell a loss of appetite & struggling to eat, she is drinking lots but when tries to eat she is gagging. I weighed her & she has lost about 1 kg She is 5yrs & 5 months & weighs 19kgs Should I be worried?
Dear sir. Rapid loss of weight in such a small child is not a good sign. Moreover she is not taking proper intake. These are signs of discomfort for a 5 year old. So please see a paediatrician early. Hope you seek help soon. Thanks.
