Should I be concerned? Sleepy 2 year old

Hi,

My 2 year old DS has been off colour since yesterday - loss of appetite, although he's eating a little and still drinking water, feels a bit warm, but my main concern is that he's sleeping loads and seems tired and droopy when he is up. He was only up for a total of 5 hours yesterday, and today has gone back to bed at 9.30am after getting up at 7.30am.

Is this sleepiness something to worry about or is it just his body's way of getting over whatever bug he's picked up? Wondering whether to let him sleep it off or try and get in to see the doc?

My kids always sleep lots when poorly, even if they don't seem that ill IYKWIM. Infact I can normally tell when they are coming down with something as it's the only time they sleep!

See how he goes today, but if you are still worried give your GP a ring they will be able to give you advice over the phone or may ask you to bring him in.
