Hello
Yes the medicine can cause a bit of drowsiness. Most of the cold medicines do.
This dose won’t have any long term effects on kidneys

Relent can be given to children above 6 months but can be given only once a day
Three times a day or two times a day is excessive dose
Dose needs to be given at night time preferably
