How long is too long without food for 14mo?

Hello,

Ds is 14 mo and has been unwell since Friday with temp of between 38.8 and 39.4 which does come down with neurofen/calpol.
Seems to just be a cold with some vomiting due to mucous, I think he may be also teething.
Anyway, as a result he will not eat. Since Saturday morning he has had one yoghurt a day, and today he won't even eat that.
He is drinking lots of water and am giving him more milk than usual so I guess he is still eating some calories.
Just seems a long time without any solids. Is this anything to worry about? This is the longest he has refused food for.

I think I'd get him checked at the GPs, not because of the lack of food necessarily but because he may have a bacterial infection which is the cause.
