Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

By what you quote I thin it could be a serious bacterial infection as he is cool/ sweating and with night fevers and abnormally sleepy. It could be a meningococcal infection too. I suggest you take him to emergency room immediately.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
