A member asked:

My 4 yr old seems to have an extreme sensitivity to smells, so bad that he will vomit when im cooking, makin him very picky eater, what cld this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just guessing...: ...I've seen this in children who had been "force-fed." most important is how his weight is progressing, and how his health is otherwise. If picky eating is preventing proper growth, then it becomes a problem.
