Usually weight gain is not only factor of good health. If your child is active according to her age it is ok that she may have a thinner body type than other child.
Aslo there may be intestinal helmenthic infection for that anti helmenthic medicine can be prescribed

At this age, children naturally have
•KAPHA PREDOMINANCE & more prone to
•INTESTINAL WORMS (Krimi),
which can affect digestion & nutrient absorption
If the diet is rich in sweettasting & habit of eating chocolates & fast food, it may further encourage worm infestation
Next Steps
Initial treatment
Tab Albendazole 200 mg once at night (single dose)
After this, start
tab Krimikuthar Rasa
Syp Vidanga arishta
Once digestion improves, we can start only supportive medicines to promote natural & healthy weight gain.
Health Tips
a detailed history is required-daily diet, eating habits, bowel pattern, sleep, physical activity, lifestyle.
Based on this, a precise treatment plan can be made.
