My 5 year old is not eating

My 5yr old will not eat she willgo a whole week without eating she ate twice this past week she has dark bags under her eyes can anyone help

Answer #1

Dark circles under the eyes can mean many things even allergies in normally healthy kids, take that girl to the hospital right away she may be seriously ill!!! a child may be a picky eater and not eat WELL for days, but it isn’t normal for anybody to go days w/o eating.

Answer #2

oh my gosh you need to take her to a doctor right away - she could have died not eating for a week.

Answer #3

please don’t wait a minute - take the child to a doctor. Does the child drink water? Is the temperature normal? How much weight did she loose?

Answer #4
