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.
