Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

I do understand your concern. But please don't worry.

She may be sleeping excessively for today as she will be under the influence of that ingested medicine.

She will be fine as soon as the medicine gets eliminated from her body.

Try to give her plenty of oral fluids which helps in quicker elimination of the medicine through urine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, then i will be happy to help you.

Take good care of your daughter.

Warm Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
