Physical check up is necessary to rule out any illness. If she is not losing weight, active, passing urine and potty, nothing to worry about. This is a passing phase. She needs energy to grow. When she feels hungry, she will start eating. There is no need to worry about this. Visit a pediatrician

Try different food items with different texture and taste. Deworming should be done if not done already. Check hemoglobin level to rule out anemia. If you are giving cow milk too much, reduce the amount - it can suppress appetite
