Baby recovered from Covid

Question

My 14 mths old baby just recovered from Covid a week ago and he doesnt seems to eat as much as before, has been having rice, vege, meat etc for his daily meal. Now only to eat a few bites, and mostly drink milk and water. Does it affect his appetite, is there a possibility of him lossing his taste bud due to Covid? Will he regain his taste bud? If yes how long it will take to regain it? For now what I can give him for nutrients?  #pleasehelp

My toddlers appetite dropped for a while after recovering from Covid too, mummy 😢 He mainly wanted milk, fruits, and simple foods for about 1-2 weeks.My PD said its quite common for appetite to take some time to return after an illness. I just offered small meals, plenty of fluids, and didnt force him to eat. His appetite gradually came back on its own ❤️
