Detailed Answer:
Hi Sawtis
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service

I'am Dr Aslam, Pediatrician here to help you

5ml of Tminic syrup(contains 2mg CPM and 5mg Phenylephrine) wont be of that dangerous to a 13kg child. Nothing to worry. She may feel a bit sleepy for a while. Nothing to be worried. Just skip next dose- thats all.

I hope this answer will help
Let me know if I can assist you further
