Hi,

There are multiple reasons for loss of appetite in the pediatric age group. She needs evaluation and further work up.
I would ask here whether she has stunted growth, delayed milestones, any signs of infection and fever. When was the last deworming done?
Time being you can give her ciplactin and multivitamin preparations for the deficit.
Please revert with further information so that it is easier for me to ascertain the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
