Go to ER: The national poison control center (1-800-222-1222) recovery is likely if the patient survives the first 24 hours. Normally this is treated with hydration and monitoring, occassionally treated with activated charcoal. Few patients actually die from an antihistamine overdose, unless there have been serious heart rhythm disturbances or breathing problems.
