the combination of drooling and anorexia are the most significant among what you mentioned because they clearly point to an inability to swallow (so severe that swallowing even saliva is not possible hence the drooling), this could be a result of any one of serious conditions :

1-epiglottitis (a potentially lethal condition)

2-upper esophagitis (also potentially dangerous if infection spreads to mediastinum)

3-neurological disease (bulbar palsy) causing the inability to swallow (when there is no pain)

4-SEVERE TONSILLITIS(though mentioned last, this is the most likely one, according to your description . i put the others first because they are the most dangerous ones.)

i think its best to let a doctor check you .(especially if you are describing the symptoms of a CHILD )

actually, the symptoms can mimick many diseases. for weight loss, fatigue, pain and lethargy as mention in your question, it could be due to cancer, chronic viral infection like HCV. there is a term many use called 'wasting'. this usually happens in cancer patients. if it is anorexia causing the other symptoms, then the diagnosis would be just that.

This actually sounds like Influenza B or Pneumonia. If these symptoms become unbearable, do NOT tough them out, go to the hospital. Make an appmt with your doc ASAP to make sure it's not food poisoning either.
