eating after being sick

DS is 7 months. He has been sick since Sun with broncholitis and a ear infection. he has been on a nubulizer since Mon and antibiotics since Wed. He looks like he is starting to feel better, not coughing as much and sleeping much better at night.

His eating is still way off though. he's probably eating half of what he was before getting sick (both formula and foods). Is this normal? Anything I can do to get him back on track? I have offered him water and pedialite throughout the day, he isn't into it. I offer him little amounts of formula and food at more frequent intervals. How long should I expect this to go on? I'm concerned with dehydration but he does have wet diapers...

eating after being sick

My dd just got over broncholitis as well but no ear infection. Her appetite just came back a few.days ago. It took a few days till she was feeling much better like almost no cough at all to get her appetite back to where it was. And shes been eating more. Maybe to make up for what she lost lol
I wouldnt worry as long as his diapers are wet and he doesnt show any signs of dehydration.
I did the same as you more frequent smaller meals. Lots of snacks. I noticed she wanted plain food/carbs. Rice, bread, pasta. I would eveb give her some fruit purees just to get her to eat.
