Child Has Dark Circles Around The Eyes And Also Loss Of Appetite, Doesn't Eat Anything. What To Do For This Problem?
Hello Dr. Meyer, Thank you so much for getting back to me about my sons health I worry so much when my children don't eat so I then try cooking pizza or chicken nuggets which I know isn't the best choice nutrition wise but sometimes that is all that he will eat.... I have tries everything.... His eyes and appetite got better about a week after I sent my last message but starting this past Sunday September 1 st he has not been eating again... Not even m and ms and that's his favorite treat.... Also he asked me to make him hotdogs and he would chew them up and then spit out the rest I'm guessing that he was sucking all the flavor out of them.... He is drinking a little milk and orange juice... But I try to not give him too much to drink so that he doesn't get full on the liquids and then have no room for dinner... He has no fever or anything.... I have taken him to his pediatrician one week ago and he didn't seem too worried about the dark circles under his eyes or the fact that he's not eating even half of what he normally ingests.... As a mother it my priority to make sure my children are at their best health.....
Are there any other tips that you could give me maybe some different food I could try that would taste good to him but are also good for his health....
THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr. Meyer for taking the time out of your busy days of caring for others to listen or write to me... I appreciate this more than you know.... Please write me back I find your advice extremely helpful thanks again!
