Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Loss of appetite and retching may suggest an upper GI problem. Kindly get the following investigations:
1. Urine for bile salts and pigments.
2. Stool routine examination.
3. Liver function test, if required.
We also need to exclude a hepatic cause for these symptoms.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
