Hi.... by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a viral illness. Fever without any localizing signs like this could be a viral illness or a starting stage of diarrhea. Even if she is not throwing up because of the pain in the abdomen she might be having a nausea. This is the reason she is not able to eat well. You can give any over the counter antiemetic medication if you have in hand. For fever, you can give Paracetamol in the appropriate dose. Regards -
