Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail and would like to inform your that a single extra dose in the afternoon will do no harm. Your child is safe and will not suffer from any serious side effects. Medications such as Montair LC are antihistamines and usually do not cause any serious side effects due to an extra dose. However please take care to give only morning and night doses further in the next few days as per prescription.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Dr.Vivek
