What are the reasons for having a low fever and not wanting to eat?

Patient's question:

Yesterday the child had a slight fever. During dinner, they kept saying they were full, their stomach felt bloated, and they didn't want to eat.
Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
In the first half of the night, I measured their temperature at 38.3°C. In the early morning, it had dropped to 37.5°C, but they still didn’t have much appetite for dinner.
Type of help needed:
Hello, what should I do now? Should I take them to the hospital to see a doctor for some Chinese medicine to regulate their condition, or should I stabilize them at home with a gradual diet? What should I cook for them to eat, and are there any foods I should avoid? Urgent, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, you can drink some Wind-Cold and Fever-Reducing Decoction and Fever-Clearing Formula. It's recommended to have a light diet and drinking some warm chicken soup is also quite good.
Advice: Rest more in bed, increase physical activity, prevent cold exposure, ensure good indoor ventilation, drink plenty of fluids, and consume nutrient-rich liquid or semi-liquid foods. Also, maintain regular bowel movements and eat fresh fruits.
