Loratadine overdose

2017-10-05 13:33:52
I accidentally gave my 3 1/2 year old a full loradatine tablet (10 mg). He should have only had half a tablet, but took the whole thing. He's 35 pounds and now sleeping (we live in China...its night). I'm quite concerned. Is this something we should take him to the emergency room for or am I overreacting?
