Hello.
As per your complaints,probably your daughter is suffering from enteric fever and it is associated with decreased appetite.
Whatever the cause is,children usually have decreased appetite in cases of infection.
Secondly the medicines which she has been taking also causes a bad taste especially after taste so the appetite is decreased.
Dnt worry,she will eat normally once the infection is settled and medicines are discontinued.
Hope it will help.
