Hi there,
If your child doesn't like to have solid foods, you can try giving him semi solid forms or fluids in adequate amount. Since he is 7.4kg, I'd suggest that you should give him 25-30ml of fluids every hour inaverage. and continue breast feeding. Fluids will help more in viral fevers.
could you please tell me where you are from, so I can have some idea about endemic viral illnesses which might need special attention.
Thank you
