What Could Refusal To Intake Solids In A Child Mean?
Hi I have a 22 month old Daughter. The last few weeks she has stopped eating her food. All she wants to do now is drink bottles of milk. We have tried all types of food to see if she will eat but nothing works. She has also gained a considerable amount of wait in this time. Can you help?

dear parent, I understand your concerns but there might be a thyroid gland enlargement causing dysphagia. dysphagia is difficulty to swallow solid foods. thyroid hormonal imbalance may also cause weight gain. you need a thyroid function blood test to confirm the diagnosis
