I'm in a real problem and difficulty.My 16 month old baby girl doesn't eat.?

She was born with a healthy weight of 3.1 kgs. but from the time she started her solids i.e , at 5 months she ate fine, till she turned 7 months, from then on there's been a gradual decrease in her appetite and for the past 4 months she 95% on my milk and rest is solid, I've tried weaning her but she simply refuses to compromise and throws a fit and cries herself senseless and i hv to give in and it just once or twice a day that she'll be in mood to eat and that too 3 or 4 bites of any thing I offer her. I'm extremly desperate as she is very underweight now and I've tried everything .the doctor has prescribed an appetite enhancing drug. I wanted to know from mothers in somewat similar situations or anybody who can help is it alright for a baby this small to be given such drugs .I dont want to give my baby medicines all the time as the dr. has already prescibed Iron and zinc supplemnets.
