I have been looking for over an hour to find information that could help you. I have four children, and haven't had something like this happen...and I'm not locating any information that makes me feel comfortable/confident in giving advice.
I recommend contacting the doctor. Usually the office has a "help line", call and ask them if you should take him in.
Personally, I would take him to be seen by the doctor. The symptoms are all too strange, as far as the fluctuation in temperature.
Good luck, I hope he feels better soon.
