Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query on HealthCareMagic. The respiratory tract infections are generally caused by certain viruses and have an allergic component along. So antiallergics are generally prescribed alongwith. If he is receiving one, the sleepiness could be the side effect of such an antiallergic medication and not ondem (ondansetron).

Hope this helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
