Brief Answer:
I think yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Presence of behavioural changes over a course of week is never can be normal and it can be anything from adjustment problem to serious nervous system disorders.

Addition of dizziness again signals to the fact that there is need for proper evaluation.

Although most disorder do not cause serious damage in one or two days but some like meningitis, encephalitis can cause serious damage if there is no timely interventions.

In my opinion the time is important and seeing a doctor in urgent fashion must be beneficial.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if there are more questions.
Thanks and regards.
