Dear Emma,
Sorry to hear that your baby is suffering.
These symptoms of not feeding, being sleepy and losing voice are warning symptoms.
You should NOT wait and take your baby URGENTLY to the nearest hospital.
He is most likely dehydrated as well as probably suffering from some kind of infection.
Donot delay. Try giving him some oral rehydration fluid like pedialyte or ORS till you reach the doctor.
Regards,
Dr. Sumeet.
