Is it normal for a baby with a cold and fever to be sleepy?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a baby with a cold and fever to be sleepy?

Doctor's answer:

A cold can indeed lead to excessive consumption in the body, which is why you may feel sleepy—this is normal. Moreover, if you take cold medicine that contains sedative ingredients, you may also experience increased sleepiness. The main issue now is to check the child's temperature and see if their diet is normal and if there are any other discomforts. If everything else is fine, no treatment may be necessary.
