What Could Cause A Lot Of Sleepiness And Loss Of Appetite?
son has been sleeping a lot today and is not hungry. I wake him up and ask him how he feels he says fine and then in a few minutes is back to sleep. He is 4 years old has no medical problems and is a happy high energy child. Not sure what could be wrong or what to look for if something is wrong please help

If he is otherwise okay, you should just wait. Sometimes, a young child may sleep extra on some days. It could be just boredom or lack of proper sleep the night before.
You may check with your general practitioner if he is equally sleepy the next day even after a good night's sleep.
Hope this answer is helpful.
