Children do have poor appetite during illness. Keep him well hydrated. That is more important.

It's normal for children to have depressed appetite while recovering from viral infection. Just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. If he's active physically and passing urine normally,relax,do NOT force feed him.
