at first rule out that your child is not taking laxatives and mentally stable because at this age there may b certain eating disorders in which youngsters stop eating willingly and take purgatives.
beside this liver diseases usually cause deceased appetite.
cyproheptadine may b used to stimulate the appetite. this is very effective.
