I'm going to assume that he is over his virus but is still waking throughout the night. Keep in mind that teething can also cause pain and fevers in kids. My son spiked fevers often throughout teething and would cry. If he woke up, we would always check inside of his mouth and see if it was his teeth bothering him. If we could tell some were coming in, we would give him some pain reliever and he would sleep the rest of the night.
He did go through a stage in which he woke up and would not go back to sleep unless my wife or I were holding him. We just put him back in his crib and let him cry for about 1-2 hours. He cried off and on for about 2 hrs for three nights then got the idea and started sleeping through the night.
Is it the right thing to do? That is something you have to decide based on your beliefs and your child. We asked for advice but in the end, we did what we felt was right for our son and situation.
