My son is four month old. He is having viral fever 102 for past four days. As prescribed by doctor am giving him crocin drops every 6 hours. Now his fever ranges between 100-101. He is continuously feeling sleepy other than his feeding time. And also he feeds lesser than before. Is this normal? Please help me? Am so worried? When will he come back to normal temp?

Majority of fever in children are caused by Viral infection.
During viral infection , loss of appetite is normal.
As his intensity of fever has come down, his excessive sleeping and decreased food intake are acceptable.
