Viral illness?: Sounds as if your pediatrician must be fairly certain that things are going well and that your baby will get better with time. If they are irritable, not eating normally, or acting substantially differently than usual you can always take them back to be seen again. Hope they are better soon.

Possible influenza: I'm not sure what you mean by very lethargic - that word means one thing to us pediatricians, meaning you really cannot arouse the child at all, that he does not even seem aware of his surroundings. If this is really how he is , you need to go to the er. However, i suspect he is just fighting a nasty bug, very possibly influenza. Did he have a flu vaccine? Push fluid, let rest, see doc again..
