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 appetited give regular water and fluids to the child to improve hydration because that will also improve appetite you can gived fruits as well 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. But it's quite common for children to lose their appetite when they are sick. They may be too tired or uncomfortable due to the fever. Offer plenty of nourishing fluids water.homemade soups and broths.coconut water.oral rehydration solutions (recommended by your doctor)diluted homemade fresh fruit juice.
