Hi,

Tylenol is unlikely the culprit here. The cold remedy your are taking (I guess it is Clatrin-D, not clearton D) contains an anti histamine that can cause sedation in some individuals. If you do not have fever or yellow nasal discharge, you need not worry- just stop taking clatrin D.

You will be alright by next day. Although BP readings are lower than usual, still is with in normal limits. If not getting better in 1-2 days, we can evaluate further.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
