Hello

Thank you for posting at HCM.

There is nothing to worry about if your child is not showing any signs of drug reaction. To be sure, you can take him/her to a physician. The drugs that were given, usually, under normal circumstances do not cause any larger discomfort other than a bit a heartburn in extreme cases. If child is feeding well, then there is nothing to worry.

Your child may remain sleepy for about next 24 hours, so don't leave him/her alone.

If possible, visiting a physician is not going to hurt. Give him/her 5ml twice of Ranitidine syp if you have at home

Feel free to reply if you need any more help.

thanks
