Child Being Lethargic And Disoriented. Suffers From Fever And Did Not Pass Urine. Reason Behind The Behavior?

Our 2.5 year old son who is always hyper and a typical boy his age, is extremely lethargic. He woke up this morning and seemed ok. he didn't eat a lot for breakfast and then we were in the car and noticed that he was completely out of it and not himself. then after awhile he was ok and walking around. Now were home and hes completely lethargic again. He is complaining that his lower back hurts and he does have a low fever. He still hasn't eat anything and his diaper was pretty dry after 8 hours...

hello dear
thanks for your query at health care magic.
i understand your concern regarding child.
there are multiple causes for lethargic child
1 it can be due low glucose levels because he may not eaten any thing , give him something to eat,
2 it can be due to any poisoning or medicine that you keep in home , child may have accidentaly consumed them , rule out anything like that
3 it can be due to infection in body, child is having fever, this supports infection
4 child may be having infection of the brain or meininges .
5 it can be due to trauma , check for nay signs of injury or bleeding.
go for simple test blood sugar levels , complete blood picture and ct scan if needed
hope this will help you
regards
