Abnormal 21 month old child behavior

Yesterday, I noticed my 21 month old son was not communicating and was avoiding engaging in activities where his normal reaction would be to laugh or exhibit a reaction where his mouth would need to open. I later discovered he was holding food in mouth for a couple of hours.
  I am a bit concerned by this new behavior and I'm wondering if it truly is cause for concern.
  Is his behavior normal?
