That's absolutely normal and expected. The illness is taking a toll on your body and it needs all it's resources to fight it. Don't take this as advice not to see a doctor if you were already going to because if you personally feel like something is wrong and out of the ordinary for you, then it's better that you decide to go to a doctor even if you're told that it is indeed normal for a cold because who knows if it's not something worse or if "normal" for you is different. But in general, yes, for colds and most illnesses tiredness is very much to be expected, even to a pretty extreme degree.
