You can always ring 111 any changes need investigating if they don't send someone out they will advise doctors you've been in touch over the weekend. Try not to worry and take care of youself

Milk and yoghurt can taste too creamy if you are ill @vannesser it might be better to offer something more refreshing like a lime jelly or even dips of water. They won’t be very nourishing but they will keep your mother hydrated which is the most important.

it sounds as if things are going from bad to worse for you. I’m so sorry

When John was at that stage I bought little jars of baby fruit and he enjoyed them. Once the habit of not eating and drinking happen though it is hard to reverse.

I hardly eat a thing for a week with Covid.
Sadly my appetite returned.
Your sister could start a ‘Food diary’ so when asked she can give great detail on the problem.
I always worry far more about fluids. If they dehydrate and then get a urine infection you really are in trouble !
