15 month old refusing meals 😢

Hi, our 15 month old has all of a sudden just started refusing her meals!
She has always been a foodie, always ate her meals we've never had a problem when its comes to food.
However she started to get a temperature last Sunday and wasn't herself for a few days, since Weds her temperature has been fine she's still abit grumpy at times other than that she seems fine.
We think she just had a cold as she had a stuffy nose (we did covid test her to make sure and it came back negative)
She started to go off her food slightly when she wasn't feeling well which we kind of understood as she was poorly but she is just refusing her meals now, yet she will be pulling us into the kitchen to get her a snack?
I'm a ftm and not sure how to get around this, people say she will eat when she is hungry she isn't going to starve herself yet I cant help let it worry me as weve gone from a child who had such a good appetite to liturally refusing food in a week 🙈
I will call the HV Monday for advise if this doesn't improve, she also starts the childminder Monday so im slightly concerned about that also!
Anyone else gone through this? What did you do if they just refuse their food and just want snacks?
Its like its clicked in her head that she knows she has a snack/food cupboard (even though we've never really shown her it) and wants that...
Just a worried mum 😔

Is she teething? Could be getting her molars. My DD went food for a month whilst getting hers.

@Vicky1989x well I did say to my husband i think she's started to teeth again as the dribbling has started again and she been chewing on her fingers alot this past week, although we've never had any issues with teething before, she has 10 teeth so far with no problems, although I have heard the molars are the worst ones 🙈

I'm in exactly the same situation. My 15 months old started refusing meals a few weeks ago. Most of the time he doesn't even want to try it, just pushes the food away. He's mostly living on milk these days. And he used to eat so well 😕
He doesn't seem to be sick or have a cold. Maybe he's teething again, he's definitely chewing on everything.
Would be interested to hear others' stories.
