Hi can I have a post please xx

My son had a virus for about 3/4 days, it seems to have gone but we now have another issue (or he’s reacting differently to it) he’s gone from being fine in him self but a bit snotty and having a soring temperature (40.2 being the highest) to now there’s no temperature or cold symptoms but he’s having seriously night sweats (literally looks like he’s just got out a shower or something), has a lump under his armpit (doctor says swollen lymph node) and no appetite at all for the last 4 days. All he’s had is the following
Day 1 – yogurt and banana
Day 2 – few bits of popcorn, few chips and a sweet (halloween)
Day 3 – toasted tea cake
Day 4 (today) – 1 bite of a toastie (was mine and he asked for it so I gave him it thinking he might eat) a yogurt, couple of magic stars
I’ve gave him some multi vitamin chews yesterday and today but he’s worrying me now as all he’s doing is sleeping. I found out he slept half the day at school. We’d been to a friend’s house after school so he played for a bit them slept for 4 hours after, hasn’t ate etc. He’s drinking a bit but not loads and I know eating isn’t as important as drinking but he’s so tired!

Before anyone says take him doctors we’ve been today because of the lump and I mentioned him not eating but they didn’t help much at all.

Any ideas on how to get his appetite back or how long I should leave him for? Is it safe to give him a second vitamin chew as he’s barely eating at all? He’s never lost his appetite even when seriously poorly 😞 xx
