HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that no problem may be present but she needs to be assessed by a doctor.
Her weight is low and bloods may be needed to make sure this is not due to any medical issues. A full blood count, thyroid test , stool tests as well, may be needed.
A speech therapist assessment may also be suggested by her doctor.
I hope this helps
