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

you need to take her to the doctor and see what’s up. They might put her on a feeding tube thingy, I really don’t know but take her to the doctor
