Brief Answer:
Rush to the ER

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Fenistil contains Dimetindene which is an antihistaminic. The main toxicity symptom of such a medicine is drowsiness/excessive sleep. I would strongly insist that you rush the child to the emergency department of a nearby hospital so that they can manage the scenario at the earliest.

Hope that helps.
