How To Increase The Appetite?

My 83 year old mother is eating less and less -- no appetite. Have heard that prescription drugs exist to increase appetite. She has lost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks. She weights under 90 pounds now. What specialist should she use to consider that option? Thanks you, mike worsham
