My 6yo daughter is a very fuzzy and extremely slow eater. She dont want to try anything. She ask for something and dont eat it when given. She is suffering from calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency and is taking medicines for that. She has developed white patches specifically on her face. I'm very worried what should i do?

Pls see ur pediatrician. The white Patches...pls find out urgently if they r due to lack of calcium or due to a skin condition called vitiligo. Ensure she stands out in sunlight for 10 minutes between 8-9am or 4:30-5pm. Regards to fussy eating, that's what kids her age mostly are. So first rule out what her skin problems are, then discuss her diet. If it's vitiligo, please please do not immediately start on steroids based pills. A good skin doctor or dermatologist will first try to control this through creams and diet.
