My 19 yr old girl is dealing with an upper respiratory problem. She is not eating. I am trying to tempt her with liquids, pureeing her canned food so she can lap it up easier, and baby foods. I have also tried using the stinkiest foods I can find (fishy fishy). She picks but that's all. I have recently been supplementing her with NutriCal.

So far the baby foods seem to be the thing she responds to the most. Should I make that her regular diet until she regains enough weight and strength to start eating regular food again? And I have no idea how much to feed her if I switch to it full time.

NOTE: She is on amoxycillin for the infection. Is that possibly affecting her appetite?

Thanks!
