    Hi Muhammad Saleem,

    I had the same problem as your daughter when I was her age, except I was born almost 2 months early which caused growth defects. What helped me to gain weight from 27 kg to 37 kg was to drink nutritional drinks before every meal and take supplements. Foods containing omega-3-fatty acids, omega-6- fatty acids, calcium, potassium, protein and dietary fiber may help your daughter in growth. Try to consult with your doctor to see what is best to promote growth. Hope this helps.
