Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Eating problems are very common with children and should be dealt meticulously. As your child has reflux, doctor has rightly suggested rantac syrup. Continue giving her rantac syrup.
If such a patient comes to me, I would suggest the following-
Avoiding heavy and rich food. Giving small feeds at frequent interval. Giving mostly easily digestible food.
Giving multivitamin syrup for one month and ondansetran syrup if nausea or vomiting occurs.
Giving her what she likes; not feeding forcefully but giving adequate amount of food regularly.
You can consult your doctor for prescription of above.
Hope this was useful.
Regards.
follow as advised

Hello.
Allergy test is not necessary but can be done to rule out allergy from any common food or household substance and hence precaution can be taken.
Rantac has generally no side effects if taken in moderate dose. You can continue it for one month and then hold it for few days to see the response. Accordingly you can continue or discontinue further dosage.
Enzymes can be given but can cause irritability in children. Diet modification should be the prior interest. Give small meals frequently as advised.
Multivitamins are a very noble choice in children and are needed too as children generally have irregular feeding habits and these give them proper nutrition.
In general, children gain at about 2-3 kilogram weight per year from 2-10 years of age.
Hope this was useful.

Hello.
Cypon can be used as appetiser. It can be given to the child and looked for positive results.
Whereas enzymes are basically not necessary for children. However, they are not harmful. So it can be given for a few days too.
