hi ! from the description that you gave it looks like your kid is having acute pharyngitis . viral is the most common cause of pharyngitis & there is throat pain which might be the reason of decreased oral intake in your kid. try to give a lot of liquids & painkiller like ibugesic & hopefully your child will be all right in 4-5 days. take care.
