EMACIATION IN A 2 YEAR OLD GIRL

Today a 2 year old girl whose birth weight was 1.75 kg's and reports nromal weight gain and growth till about 7 Kg's was brought o my clinic.
She presented with -
emaciation, anorexia
she was normal in her reflexes. current weight was 7 ks's.
all her reports were normal for blood picture and stool.
The disturbing or concerning feature for me was that since last nearly 1 year she has not been passing stool well. Whatever she passes is very hard with almost no water content.
For now i have suggested - 
1 tsf of panchtikta ghrita guggulu at night
liv 52 drops in high dose of 8 drops thrice daily
kumar kalyan ras once daily with madhu.
restricted salt diet and encouraged only liquid diet.
Please suggest better alternatives to this.......
