Since yesterday( sunday) he is drowsy...and not willing to wake up..even if he wakes up,he is eating and again sleeping..he is not staying awake.. also his breathe is fast..more than 50 breathes per minute We are now in UK..we have taken him to hospital..they have examined and said fast breathe and drowsiness is all because of viral infection. But my son is an active kid.. My question is..Is all the sinarest and Mucolite which he had 2 days back making him drowsier now ,as he dint sleep properly at that time ??

Hello. Ideally drowsiness is not a good sign. Your child is also breathing fast , so we need to check his saturation as well. Hence, it's advisable to have cross consultation with other hospital there to avoid any problem.

Drowsiness is most likely due to illness itself. Sinarest can cause drowsiness but not so much in a normal dose. Mucolite does not cause drowsiness usually. Take a second opinion as drowsiness is a red flag
