Hi.
Thanks for your query.
your daughter is having fever.loss of appetite is associated with it,this is usually viral in origin.
i advise you to give paracetamol when fever is 100F,do tepid sponging.give her plenty of fluids,fruit juices. watch for any other symptom and if fever continues to be on higher side take her to pediatricin
Your child will be fine.
God bless.
