My 2 yr old is acting weird and sleeping alot?

Question

for the last 3 weeks he has been off and bad tempered, not his normal self. i know the terrible 2's and this seems different. he has had a cough and snotty nose, and sleeping heaps. he woke up at 6.30 today and went back to sleep at 8.30, sleeping til 12.30. now he has just fallen asleep on the lounge room floor at 5.30. he has also been off his food although he seems to be hungry again today

Answer 1

Ahh, he is probably a bit off colour. My kids a few years back were sick for a month. They didn't show many signs, but yes slept alot.

If your worried, take him to the doctors, but I honestly think give him a week or 2 and he will be right as rain :)

Answer 2

Maybe you should get off the internet and take him to a Doctor.

Answer 3

Take him to the doctor - better to be safe than sorry.

Kids dont just slept because of growth spurts - myth/basically c**p.

they slept if the ar tired or are suffering from a virus.  take him GP asap.

Answer 4

The person who knows best is you. I think it can't hurt to just take a quick trip to the doctor. The least they can tell you is that everything is fine.  

Answer 5

well he could be under the weather but also my son was/is a bit off and sleeps when he's brewing a growth spurt. If its been going on for 3 weeks maybe its time for a trip to the doctor to make sure he doesn't have allergies or a minor infection making him feel off colour

Answer 6

If it's worrying you, take him to a doctor. It's always best to trust your instinct if you think something might be wrong.
