Hi, My baby is 17 months old and she is not eating her food she was suffering from fever from last 4 days now she is absolutely fine but she is not eating anything... what could be the reason? what should I do ?

A. It is very common that during the disease process the child will have loss of appetite as well as after the disease the child will have decreased appetite for food and this will last for dat least one week. You have to provide plenty of water to drink and you can give food rich in fluids as well as juice extracted from fruits which will help in improving the appetite. If if the child is having nutritional deficiency the doctor will add multivitamin supplements to increase the appetite
