If the child has even a slight fever, they won’t feel hungry and may refuse to eat. In this condition, just make sure the child does not get dehydrated. As soon as the fever subsides, their appetite will naturally return. Until then, if needed, you can let the child observe *Langhan* (fasting) and give them warm water. However, always consult your nearest Vaidya before following these measures.

Usually post fever digestion is slow.
Better to not rush into complete meal.
Instead start with light & nourishing diet like khichdi with ghee.
Next Steps
Consult for proper diagnosis
