intercurrent viral infections are prevalent and couldn't be avoided among kids attending day-care and pre schools; if he continues to be unhealthy with raising temperature and reduced activity, then he needs partial septic screen to rule out bacterial infections; if they become normal, you don't have to worry about it.
