Hi dear,
Thanks for your query to health care magic. She is recovering from an illness. Her appetite will be less. DOn't worry she will improve in few days. No need to give any multivitamin tonic.
COnstipation hs to do with the diet we give. It needs to contain more fiber like fruits, vegetables and water. Just double the vegetables and fruits she takes. Also reduce the milk intake and give more rice. She will do well.
Take care

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Constipation in children occurs if they are low fibre diet and junk foods.
Give your child diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Give her lot of water to drink.
Ask your kid to play a lot running around and do not allow him to sit infront of the computer or television.
Children will have decreased appetite particularly after a episode of fever. Encourage her to consume more and do not force feed her.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
