Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for following up. It is side effect of antihistamines of first generation.I suggest you to give less dosage- 5 drops 2 times before sleeping. Medicine is safe, don't worry. For nasal congestion you can also use saline water and paediatric nasal drops.
Kind regards.
