Eating habits post covid infection for a toddler

Question

Hi, my 17mths old baby is recovering from covid,  she was tested positive on 14 Mar. From her 3rd day of being positive, she refuse eating her meals and only eats snacks and drink milk (BF and formula).  Any mummies experiencing similar issue? How do / are you overcome(ing) it?

hello mummy! hugs to you!as long she drinks and eat anything, that is good! if she eat and drinks less than 50% of her usual intake and dont even want to eat snacks, its a red flag.i brought my LO to KKH a&e few weeks ago as she wasnt eating and drinking at all since Day 1 evening and has been more than 24hrs. day 2 temp was 39^ and no eating drinking snacks nothing. doctor admitted her and was given IV immediately once inserted her IV.  discharge at day 4 bc she started to drink abit more and to observe at home. all back to normal after about 1 week post covid.jiayou mummy 💪🏼
