My baby has a cold and is sleeping a lot

Hi all, my 5 month old baby has a cold and is teething at the same time. It sounds such a daft question, but is it normal for him to sleep a lot during the day while he’s poorly? He usually sleeps 11-12 hours at night time, waking occasionally and naps around 3-3.5 hours during the day time. However, last night he was waking up every half hour with a blocked nose, sneezing, wanting his dummy and generally unsettled. Today, he has done nothing but sleep. I’m worried that me allowing him to sleep as he wants during the day today will affect him sleeping properly tonight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
