Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thank you for the question. it looks from your history that your child might be having a urinary tract infection which can be confirmed with a urine analysis and if confirmed can be treated with a course of antibiotics like cefixime. you need not worry about the loss of apetite which is due to fever, once your child is started on treatment and the fever starts coming down the apetite improves. you should take your doctor to a pediatrician. children suffering from urinary infection will improve within 2-3 days with proper treatment.
