Brief Answer:
Please do not panic - nothing will happen

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Please do not panic. Nothing will happen. Doses less than 4.5mg/kg body weight do not cause any toxicity. I will suggest you the danger signs which you have to be on the look out for -

1. Nausea and vomiting.
2. Hyperactivity.
3. Thirst
4. Sleepiness
5. Dilated pupils
6. Stomach pain.

If these appear then approach the nearest emergency room.

I have gone through medical literature and there have been case reports of a 3 year old with 80mg unintentional intake and 5 year old with 135mg of unintentional intake of Monteleukast and both cases did not have any symptoms. When compared to these cases what your kid has ingested is nothing. So do not worry.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
