I am the mother of a 20-month-old child. I want to ask that my child has stomach problems. He has very little appetite and does not eat anything. Please tell me what to do for this.

A. If your 21-month-old child is having stomach problems, it could be due to various reasons like indigestion, constipation, gas, or a mild infection. Common signs include bloating, discomfort, changes in stool, or loss of appetite. Offer a light, balanced diet with plenty of fluids, avoid spicy or heavy foods, and ensure they get enough fiber through fruits and vegetables. If the problem continues for more than a few days, or if there’s vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, it’s best to consult a pediatrician to identify the exact cause and get the right treatment.
