Can you tell me how i could help my grandmother get her appetite back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anorexia: In order to get her appetite back, we need to find cause for loss of appetite. It may be due to medications, nausea, difficulty breathing, difficulty chewing, difficulty swallowing, constipation, diarrhea, etc. Take her to see her Family Doc for complete evaluation. American Geriatric Society doesn't recommend use of appetite stimulants (Beers criteria - http://goo.gl/dTm70G).
