Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

I understand your concern and would recommend consulting with a dietitian to help her gain some weight. The loss of weight could be related to malnutrition or difficulty swallowing. Some blood lab tests may be necessary to investigate for other conditions that may lead to loss of weight (malabsorption, infectious disease etc. ).
Hope you will find this information helpful!
Best wishes!
