What Causes Tiredness In A 20 Month Old?

my son is 20 months old and is usually very rambunkshish. today he woke up normally, happy ready to go and at about 11 climbed up on my lap and has slept on and off all day long. no sign of fever. when he wakes up it is for 5 to 10 minutes at a time he drinks and eats a few things then goes right back to sleep. I am really worried and dont know what to do

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... this is a sign that his central nervous system could be affected. There need not be fever always. I suggest you get him examined by a pediatrician or physician as soon as possible. It could be a initial symptom or Encephalitis.
