My 18 month old daughter was prescribed antiflu syrup for mild cold symptoms, after 2 doses, my daughter developed hyperactivity, restlessness and unable to sleep. I have discontinued the medicine after discussion. Will there be any long term side effects? Did it effect her brain?

Greetings temporary behavioral changes closely resemble known neuropsychiatric side effects that can occur with flu medications like oseltamivir in children. These symptoms generally resolve completely within a few hours to a couple of days after discontinuing the medicine and do not cause long-term brain damage.
