Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Appetite
My 16 month old has had a decreasing appetite for 3 days now. He started having a fever between 100-102 today and it keeps going up and down. He will sleep for about 2 hours at a time and when he wakes he seems tired but kind of wonders around aimlessly.

Hello,
Fever could be due to viral infection and febrile condition could cause the loss of appetite, be patience it may take few days, let the course of viral finished.
It may not need any specific medicines but high grade fever really need medical attention, and for that Paracetamol can be tried, but overall it is nothing to worry, hydration also needs to be taken care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
