Any Suggestion For Loss Of Appetite In A Child?
Hi, my 21 month old girl is having significantly reduced appetite for the past 4 days. It started with her having a more liquid poo and reduced appetite 4 days ago. Then, she did not poo the whole of yesterday and today and her appetite is still poor. But otherwise, she is her usual active and happy self and also no fever.

Hi....by what you quote I feel that your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
It is very common to have loss of appetite when the tummy is upset. Do not worry. she will regain her appetite soon in matter of few days. If she is active otherwise as you have mentioned you need not worry.
