You forget to tell us how old your son is and what other symptoms he has had along with fever. In general, if fever goes down and the child eats and drinks better and he has been active then there is nothing to concern although he may sleep a little more today. You should just continue to observe, nothing to worry. Take care!

I'm not sure exactly what your question is. Sounds like a viral infection. If he's not been sleeping well lately, he may be catching up on sleep now. I would wake him up and if he's alert, let him rest again. If he seems worse, please have him seen by a doctor. If this doesn't answer your question, you can re-submit with more information (but whomever answers won't have access to this answer).
