A virus can still take the mickey out of a little one, and take time for recovery even after they no longer look really ill!. Fighting off a virus takes a lot of energy, and a toddler just doesn't have those kind of reserves on hand!. It's normal for a toddler or young child to go off their feed when they have a viral infection, and to sleep more, irritability is also pretty common!. Just offer good nutritious foods, and be a little patient for a few days!. Some viral infections can hang out for up to two weeks, but he should be starting to show some gradual improvement in the next couple days!. It's more worrisome for the mom than a problem for the child!. Just try to relax as well as you can!. Trust your gut to know if something is really wrong, and trust your child's immune system is working as it should!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sounds like He has a stomach infection, the reason that I say that is because He doesn't want to eat, because His tummy is fighting the infection & He doesn't get hungry,also He wants to sleep because His body needs to rest because is weak after fightin this infeccion!.I'm not a doctor but I have two little ones at home as well & have some experince of my own!.
I would say keep an eye on him & give Him tilenol for the fever
if He doen't get better take him to the hospital they have more equipment than some doctors to find diceases 'hidden' in our body!.I Hope this is helpfull to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the doc said that it was just a bug, then you've probably got nothing to worry about!. If your kid goes on like this for another week, or if the symptoms get worse, then you should see the doctor again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
They tend to sleep alot when their no feeling well!. Just make sure he is drinking plenty of liquids!. Gatorade is really good when avoiding dehydration!. Give it a few days, I bet he'll be feeling much better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think you should see how he is like in 1-3 days time, if his still like that I think you should take him to the hospital!. :)

Just try to give him fluids and let him rest!. He is young so he will recover and the good thing is the fever is gone!. He may just be tired from being sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK so everyone is going to tell you something different!. You are his mother that is why you get these gut feelings and second guess doctors!.
Some have had worse experiences than others!. And some rare cases!. But we choose the doctors for our children because we trust that they will give us our best judgment!.
My son had a bug like that about a week ago, fever and all!. All he did was sleep!. He didn't want food or anything!. Hi body was just trying to get rid of the bug!.
I would make sure you get some electrolytes in his body and try to keep him hydrated!.
Though there are somethings doctor miss!. Trust me they are trying to help!. They don't know everything but if you don't think after seeing him that he is right wait 2-3 days and go gt a second opinion!.
I know that's a long time to wait for a child to be sick but after 1 day they are probably going to say the same thing!.
I had to call a registered nurse yesterday and I was freekin out cause my sons nose bleed was worse than its ever been!.
She helped me take care of him!. And urged me to see his doctor because of it!.
I trust his doctor's judgment so I am sure that he will give me the advise I am looking for!.
Good luck I hope he gets betterWww@Answer-Health@Com
