You need to take your child to the doctor IMMEDIATELY.  Not wanting to eat is not as much of a concern as not drinking is - a child can dehydrate very quickly and dehydration can be very serious, especially in a child.  Dehydration will also happen a lot faster if the child is also vomiting and/or has diarrhea or a fever.

Please do not hesitate - take your child to the ER.  Please let us know what you find out and how your child is doing.  Best of luck!
