?: Just observe she might be drowsy or oversleepy, or the reverse, may become hyperactive, call the poison control center in your area for advice, no more antihistamines from any source for the next 2 days, it will take about 24 hours for the system to eliminate the drug,she will be fine, but if you can't arouse her or you feel she's not herself, please take her to the ER,dosage is only 5 mg/d 4 her
