A. it is very common that during the illness the child will not take food. give small amount of easily digestible food to the child many times if you take the child in garden or open area that will cheer up the child and that might improve the appetite give regular water and fluids to the child to improve hydration because that will also improve appetite you can give fruits as wdell as juices from the fruits which again acts as appetizer during illness if the child takes 60% to 70% of the diet then also it's fine

A. Give more of liquid as your child is having congestion which is why it is little tough for the child to eat whatever you give liquid would be easy for the child to consume apart from that nebulisation helps a lot in clearing up the congestion from throat and chest so please consult your doctor and start nebulising your child as well
