Hi,
Your daughter is sensitive,& facing a problem with maths. At the same time she is undergoing pubertal changes. This is the time of hormonal changes in body which act at physical as well as psychological level . Many girls have such symptoms in puberty. Please don't worry.You can help her by being with her, getting friends with her, trying to seek her confidence & console her softly.
_ provide her adolescent counceling. Let her be free with her friends.
- Encourage her to eat -whatever she likes to start with ,gradually heading her to a balanced high protein diet with fresh fruits,salads,vegetables,milk.
Antacid liquid before meals & Vitamin supplements following meals will relieve her present problem.
- provide her tution for maths.
