What Causes Loss Of Appetite?

my 5.5 year old daughter is hesitating to eat food from past one week. As soon as she sees food she is not interested in eating and then we have to force her to eat. Is there any problem with her stomach. She passes motion everyday and its normal. Please advice.

Pediatrician 's  Response
it's very common at this age group for children to be not interested in food , they are interested instead of that with playing . then you can make it as a condition , if she want to play then she must finish he plate .
but if there is any other symptoms like vomiting, nausea , abdominal pain , fever or sore throught then she must be examined by her doctor to exclude any cause for that .
I hope this helps
