Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have to consult a physician immediately and it will be better to take him to ER now.
It might be due to minor strokes or TIA(transient ischemic attack) and we have to take a CT scan as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
