Why Is My Baby Not Taking Food And Water After Fever?
HI, Recently, my 15 months old baby was having fever. Doctor prescribed paracetamol, Azithromycin, colimex (when she will cry no-stop), Atarax. Now after 4 days, everything is fine, but she is not taking food properly, alaso she is not showing any interest drinking water. Previously she used to drink with her sipper. Please let me know why this is happening, and how can I treat. Local doctor has suggested de-worming medicine after 1 week.

HI..it is very usual for the kids to have poor appetite when they are recovering fro any illness. Nothing to worry if her activity is normal. The feeding will gradually increase and as will the weight gain. If the urine output is normal, nothing to worry.
