Toddler complete lethargy

I wonder if anyone has experienced this? My 19mth dd is not herself, seems so tired and just wants to sit still or be cuddled. A couple of weeks ago she had a nasty ear infection but all seems cleared up now - she is still occasionally being sick with mucus but otherwise shows no sign of being ill, and is eating. She just has no energy and seems really tired. I took her to nursery today but feel uncomfortable about it, when I called they said she was ok, just quiet. It bothers me that there may be something wrong I haven't picked up on, or that she is in pain but can't tell me.

I think if DD was in pain she would cry. She is probably tired and worn out from her ear infection.

If you get a chance to maybe send for for slightly shorter days or half days at nursery, she may get more time to rest and recuperate.

Maybe a bit of time in the fresh air but nicely wrapped up? Is she eating fruit/veg/joghurt?
