Cold-virus: Viral illnesses can sometimes take longer than you would like to recover form totally. Be patient and slowly increase your diet to tolerable food from previous days. If you do not get better in a few days still , then see the Dr. for and evaluation.

Fluids/PMD: Upper respiratory infections infect your whole body, not just your lungs and head. Loss of appetite is probably a remnant of your "cold". Stay well hydrated and make sure you are not taking any medications that suppress your appetite. If this continues and you lose weight in a short period of time (more than five or ten pounds within a few weeks) then see your doctor
