Hello,
Many causes for loss of appetite like acute febrile illness, liver, gallbladder problems, urinary tract infection etcetera. Chronic loss of appetite is maybe due to malignancy, tuberculosis or retroviral diseases etcetera.
Use tablet Paracetamol thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, then please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
