General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query. I undrstand your concern.
Yes undernutrotion mostly is the cause of the weakness.
Her avultion to food (lack of desire to eat) could be her stomach ache.
I would suggest for consultation of a pediatritian...For pin pointing cause of her stomach pain (could be weak digestion leading to bloating &fullness of stomach)/raised acidiry after eating anything produces pain in stomach..causing fear to eat /some bowel infection or infestation can upset digestion/weak liver can lead to low appetite/vitamin B complex deficiency can cause the less appetite.
Necessary investigations & expert advise would get her normal.
Thanks.
