Hello,
We're on day 6 of a really rotten flu (v.high temps, some vomiting, but mostly coughing and other cold-type symptoms). DD is brightening a little, and has carried on drinking throughout, but is still not eating. She's not had anything more substantial than boiled sweets, ice-lollies and the odd piece of orange, since Friday. She looks like she's lost weight though I don't know for sure. Whenever I mention food she cries and says no - I don't know if she thinks it'll make her sick.
Her fever is down today (but still over 38), though she's still falling asleep every few hours for a good few hours and the cough still sounds dreadful. Should I push the food thing, or let her carry on with fluids and so on for another day?
(She's 4 and otherwise perfectly healthy)
Many thanks!!
