HELLO THANX FOR USING HCM
For a child of 17 months you dont need to give any medicine .It happens certain times they dont accept food .
First thing can be teething last teeths make them irritated and they stop taking solids foods till teeths are out .
Try to feed her things which she likes the most.
Dont give her same food every time.Try out fruit juices and milk shakes many kids enjoy these things.
Try out different cereals in different meals like chapathi, breads, oats, rice, broken cereals, noodles, pasta.
Give 2-3 servings of milk and 2 servings of fruits.
Feed the child with other family members as child enjoys the meal and learns to eat also.
