Dd is sick and wont eat

Last time she ate was breakfast, then she started showing signs of having a fever in the late morning/early afternoon, and she's just been resting. She occasionally takes a sip of water, but she won't eat a thing. She's not even interested in her favorite treats and snacks. And we can't get her to take medicine to lower her fever either. She's 3 years old. Is it ok to put her to bed without eating anything?

Also, any suggestions on somethinf she might want to eat?

If she's not interested in her usual favorites I wouldn't push it. Dd just had a stomach virus and ate nothing the first day, and what she ate the second day came right back up. Another day or two after that she still barely ate. I pushed her to take water when I could and offered all kinds of food but even when she would say yes she'd take one bite. Could be a stomach bug or a sore throat. I wouldn't be too worried about her refusing meds unless the fevers really high.

I think she will be fine going to bed. Just keeping offering g her liquids when you can.

When my DS is sick, he really doesn't eat much. The one thing he will eat is ice pops so I let him have those. I figure he's getting additional fluids!

Just try liquids. She won't starve even if she goes a few days. Just try to keep fluids in.
