What Causes Sudden Change In Behavior In A Toddler?

My2 year old grandson is acting different. This is sudden. He seems to be dazed at times and not responding as he notmally would when I call his name. He is not eating well and seems irritable. He has periods of acting normal and then suddenly acts different. Its like i cant put a finger on it but yet feel something is different. Could he have a concussion that we don t know about?
