Good evening..!!
Your nine year old child most probably has a viral infection or malaria or a urinary tract infection.
Continue paracetamol for fever control.
ORS solution frequently as accepted, since your child has low appetite and may not accept solids.
If the problem is persisting, can get checked with CBP, CUE and Peripheral smear for malarial parasite.
Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
