See your doctor : The symptom of a chest cold/cough with phlegm could be a sign of a simple viral illness or a sign of something more serious. A high fever and lethargy, poor eating/drinking, would be concerning signs. I'd suggest taking your son to see your pediatrician or family physician to rule out potentially serious conditions such as pneumonia.
