11mo not drinking - advice needed

My little one hasn't been very well for a long time now, about 3 months - just going through the cycle of typical viral infections picked up from Nursery, colds coughs etc. Recent one is a cough that he's had for about 7 weeks. Was checked out last week by an OOH doctor due to vomitting every time he coughed, wasn't too concerned as long as he's had no temp, still eating & drinking. Well he had a temp on Friday night but it was easily resolved with Calpol and hasn't come back since but its been a few days since he's drank his normal amount of Formula (24oz a day). I was wondering if anyone knew the minimum amount we should be aiming to get into him? Going to get him checked out in the meantime anyway but it would be so helpful to at least have a target. We're just about getting half into him at the moment and it's a real battle to do that 😥

We're trying anything food wise that we can - melon, cucumber, ridiculously soggy weatabix 😅I don't think he's dehydrated, just concerning as it's been going on for so long now!
