A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection/appetite: During inflammation one of the immune responses is the release of cytokines (chemicals from one cell affecting the behavior of other cells). Some of these will blunt your appetite, and it may take longer to recover your appetite than improvement of other symptoms.
