Hello
Thanks for choosing this platform
Weight of 10 kg for 3 year 8 months old child is below the normal limit.
Liv 52 helps in improving appetite and also indicated for children with poor weight gain.So continue giving Liv 52.
I would like to know if there is repeated history of constipation,loose stool,indigestion or abdominal fullness.In presence of these symptoms I would suggest to get serology for celiac disease (allergic to wheat product)done.
I would also like to get her investigated for poor weight gain like hemoglobin,iron profile,vitamin D level done.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
