Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
You should monitor his respiratory rate. If you feel that he is breathing fast or has high grade fever or chest retractions or you feel that he is drowsy you should consult your doctor immediately.
Is he having such episodes recurrently?

Hope this helps.
Take care.
