Children of this age do go through a 'picky' phase, it is very common, we get many posts about the same matter, they do get over it, continue putting on the table the fruits, veg etc, maybe ask him if he has any preferences, and take him to the market so he may choose for himself .good luck

I am sorry it is worrying isnt it when children are sick, if he still has a fever it may be flu and I think it would be a good thing to have him checked out at the Doctor's ..very often children of this age dont eat well, make sure that he gets veg and rice,fruits, if he can take milk , cereals are good for children in The US we recommend one called cheerios . Whole grain bread, with cheese.good luck let us know how he is doing ..
