it's normal for them to refuse food when they are unwell. Is she still having fever? I would focus on hydrating her first before slowly giving her food to build her appetite

Slight fever.. even diaper change is a nightmare... all she wants is to suckle. Anything else she cry murder.. haiz..offer water also reject.

How old is your child? As long as she is drinking well I wouldn't force her to eat. The key is to keep her hydrated.

Don't rush the food. Ensure she gets lots of liquid. Soup or milk. Whatever that works for now.
