Hello,
His blood pressure and glucose level need to be checked primarily. Such type of sudden fall could be due to low blood pressure or low glucose level. If speech of your son is affected than EKG and CT scan brain can be planned according to need. Revert back with his blood pressure and glucose level. So you should concerned and visit physician once for examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
