son keeps screaming out.at night

I'm getting worried cos my son keeps waking up in the middle of the night screaming and I don't know why. He's 2 and a half years old and he's never.done this before. We have just came back off holiday and he was doing it then aswell, he hasn't seen anything that would scare him, so I don't know what's causing it :(
Anyone know what it could be or causing it, I'm a very worried mommy xx

   Sounds like night terrors.  Here is two pretty good sites for that

  Is he screaming for you - like " mommy, mommy". Or is he just screaming, no words?

What does he say when you ask him about the behavior?  Does he tell you he had a bad dream?  Is so, what was the dream about?  Also, have you asked him if anything recently happened that made him scared?  If so, what did he say?
