The mucous that is being over-secreted from your Respiratory tract is being swallowed too. That is the reason for your loss of appetite. Also because of probable allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis that you are having, the sense of aroma or smell is compromised too. This is essential for salivation-an important reflex for getting hungry.
All this is temporary. When your flu is alright ,your appetite will return. If it is ling standing and you chest and abdominal muscles hurt while coughing, then I think you will benefit from any Penicillin group of antibiotics plus an anti allergic like Loratadine. You will need to discuss all this with your GP for getting a prescription.
Godspeed.
