A member asked:

How to cope with a loss of appetite from flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cannot: Stay hydrated with clear liquids. Your appetite suppression is part of the body's reaction to fighting infection, for which there are teleological explanations beyond this venue. Appetite will return as your illness recedes. Hope you are better soon.
