Question: my daughter is 10months from one week she is not showing intrest to have food. not even a spoon.. tried different varieties of food.. but no luck..she recently got viral fever with cold and cough.. still suffering with cold. please suggest..
Brief Answer:
Be patient. Give it some time.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Let me assure you that preceding or following an episode of viral infection it is quite usual for a child not to feel like eating. I would insist you to be patient and not to force feed the child. I hope that things will return back to normal in another week or two.
Regards
