Suggest Remedy For Eating Problem

My 7 yr.old grandson refuses to eat. We offer him his choice of meals have tried to convinence him to try something but still refuses. He will eat ice cream and if he can get his hands on the sugar bowl will eat that. This has been going on a long time and no matter what any of us try he refuses to eat anything.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Feeding a child seems to be a problem that many parents and caregivers face. It first needs to be evaluated whether the child is simply fussy or whether there is some problem. If things seem fine, the only option that you have is to try and coax the child to eat. Trying to assess the taste of the child should help.

You may apply calamine lotion over the area should help. Please revert back with further information and I would try to help further.
