Help! 8 month old hardly drinking any milk nor food and now not sleeping at night

For the past 10 days my baby has been poorly with a cough and cold which started waking him up at night, he's always slept through really well but now he's up about 4/5 times a night.
He's also gone off his bottles and food over the past week. He usually has about 36oz a day but he's barely scraping 16 and that's on a good day.
His coughs got better but he's still waking through the night and I think it's because he's hungry but he just will not feed 😩
Yesterday I changed his teats to size 3 and I managed to get him to a 5 oz bottle but this didn't happen again. He hasn't fed (food or milk) since 11am today and it worries me.
We always had such a good routine and now It's al over the place and it's hard for my toddler too.
I have took baby to the doctors but he just said it's a viral infection.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
