Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Sleepier than normal and loss of appetite along with fever could be indicative of some serious bacterial infection in a child. Your child could be suffering from a bacterial infection. I would strongly insist that you visit a pediatrician (rather than going to ER) and get the child evaluated. However, if the appointment is not immediate, visiting the ER may be a better idea. Treatment will depend upon the diagnosis. But you need to give paracetamol to reduce the temperature.

Hope that helps.
