Doctor said not sure what hes got probably a virus, I ve given him urofen and put him to bed, he just woke up winging and his sheet was drenched near his head n it felt slimy....what could that be?

Hi.... I too feel that this could be a viral illness. At the same time the slimy secretion of sweat could be due to the sebaceous secretion on the scalp getting mixed with sweat.
If a kid is active when the temperature normal then you need not worry, this seems to be a viral illness. But if he develops lethargy or seizures or respiratory distress or bloody stools or green and bilious vomiting then you need to take him to the nearest physician or Emergency Room.
