5 month old suddenly refusing bottle (FF)

DD has just turned 5 months old. She's been sick with a cold for 2 days, we managed it with calpol and junior Ibuprofen. Now it's day 3, no fever, no fussiness, back to her smiley self, except has just stopped taking her milk.
It's 6.30pm now and since 6am she's only had about 6oz... nappies barely wet although she did have a runny poop today.

Concerned about how little she's had today. Ive given one dose of Ibuprofen incase she's got a sore throat but it hasn't helped. By now she usually has about 24oz. She's completely refusing as if I'm putting a foreign object in her mouth, still taking her funny though. She's really happy and smiley and playing well.

Anybody have any advice about what may be going on?? This was her first ever time being unwell

Hi @Heyshz I've just seen your post so hoping baby is back to feeding well now?

I've seen this article which has some useful tips but hopefully baby is much better now:
