Hi, thanks for asking.
In my opinion you should not worry and allow time for her appetite to recover. I would suggest one thing. Talk to her if some thing is bothering her as children of this age have less appetite if something is bothering them.
If nothing helps then try giving iron supplementation. It will improve her appetite.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
