2.5 yr boy Lying weak on bed for 2 days

Question

Asked for Male, 32 Years

My 2.5yr old son wasn't feeling well last week.. As normal consultation with doctor and medicines.. He was ok.. Then, a day afterwards he had cough.. He was advised TusQ.. Which we last gave him on 8-3-17 night.. Since then.. Though there is no fever.. But my son, who is very healthy and notoriously active in general, has been just sleeping or lying on bed for last 2 whole days.. He's not talking, neither walking, nor sitting.. He's just like he wants to lie down and sleep.. According to doctor.. A kid may have giddiness from a particular medicine for 24/36hrs.. But if his weakness or giddiness is still there.. He will be taking out reports tomorrow.. That is on 11-3-17..

Hi. Your child may be having side effects of the TusQ syrup or other medicines given. Usually medications for cough or cold have sleepiness as a side effect. The other reason could be he is dehydrated. Keep him fluids like Electral small quantities frequently. Rarely it could be some other disease other than common cold/cough.
