Your daughter is fussy and has lost her appetite because she is running a fever. It is better you give her acetaminophen/paracetamol 5-6 ml. 4-6 hourly to reduce the fever. It is advised that you get her examined by a doctor to know the cause of the fever. Thereafter proper management shall be started.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
