Can Sedative Given For Jaw Injury Cause Tiredness, Sleepiness And Irritation?

my daughter fell and hit her jaw. The ct scan was normal. they sedated her 2 back to back. She's 2 years old. They discharged her 5 days ago from the hospital, but yet; she's not herself. She's normally a very active child. But since the sedative, she'd always tired, sleepy, irrirated, withdrawn, she no longer knows whether she's cold or hot... What could be the matter with her?!

Thank you for asking question on health care magic
If sedation is more sometimes the drowsiness continues,but 5 days is a too long a period.
Better consult pediatrician and get his opinion immediately.
