Liquid protein drinks may be useful. 1. Choose foods the patient really enjoys and make them look as attractive as possible. 2. Try small portions eat only what the patient can manage and more often. 3. Using a small plate can be easier and less overwhelming. 4. Eat when the patient feels like eating do not feel the patient need to stick to usual meal times. 5. Try softer foods that do not need much chewing, especially if the mouth is sore or the patient is finding it hard to swallow. 6. Try soup, milky puddings, porridge, yoghurt, ice cream, nutritious drinks and snacks. 7. If the smell of hot food makes the patient feel sick, try eating cold foods instead foods like sandwiches, salads and cheese or quiche can be just as nutritious. Loss of appetite can happen as a symptom of a disorder, such as depression, appendicitis, thyroid problems, infections and cancer. Appendicitis may need surgery while depression may need psychotherapy and antidepressants. Once infections are treated with antibiotics, appetite and health normally return. Cancer treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy may produce further decrease in appetite Medicines such as megestrol (Megace), and dronabinol (Marinol), are normally given to help activate a person's appetite. A pleasant eating environment can improve the appetite and eating habits. TABLE OF CONTENT Introduction...
