What Could Be The Causes Of Sudden Weight Loss?

Yes I have an 18 year old daughter that has lost a dramatic amount of weight in a short period of time like 37 pounds in 5 months and the Dr says that there s nothing that shows up in her blood results and as of today she tells me that the left side of her neck hurts and its a little hard to swallow not due to pain but she says the area feels smaller and I looked and it looks a little swollen but I m really more concerned about her weight loss do u have any suggestions??

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

She should do further tests to get evaluated. Check thyroid function doing T3 T4 and TSH levels.

Also check throat to ENT doctor. Do total blood count with formula and biochemical blood balance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
