hi,let me try to tell you that normally sinarest ,which contains a combination of medicine for fever and for cold ,is not given to babies less than 6 years .Anyway --the little one got almost 5 times the dose she should have ---it is normal for these babies to have drowsiness sfter this medicine ---its good that she woke up and played well and has good intake of milk --this is reassuring .
and the shivering was only slight .My advice is to keep a watch on her for next 12 hours --if she sleeps too long ,say 6 hours without getting up for feed or not passed urine in the diaper --then try to wake herup -arouse her .if not responding then you may have to take her to your doctor.Best of luck
