Child Had Viral Infection. Refuses To Eat, Drinks Water And Milk. Wait Or Do Something?
Hi, Thanks for writing to health care magic. Some times kids do not accept some food items or not much feed for few days. This is normal if the kid is otherwise active and healthy. This commonly occurs after a episode of illness. So do not worry if your baby is active and playful. If the symptoms persist you should consult your doctor. Hope this helps. Take care.
