Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As your daughter is losing weight because she is not eating much, you can try giving her digestive enzymes which increase her appetite. You can use syrups like Arystozyme, and Unizyme.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Srinivas Bandam
