Infection: Fever, fatigue, swollen glands, and drainage just indicates that he has some kind of infection. If pt is just a little sleepier and is otherwise doing ok can just monitor. If pt is actually lethargic than pt should be seen in clinic

Depends: If the kid is thriving I would just monitor the situation.Kids sometimes sleep more and deeper if they are preparing for a growth spirt or a new developmental skill,If the kid is playing well, feeding normally,monitor.If he is less active and feedings are off it might indicate ai illness coming on.
