Brief Answer:
just wait for the effect to wear off

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can't do much right now. If you don't have serious symptoms like shortness of breath or faintness, you can only wait for the effect to wear off. Ventolin needs about 24 hours to be completely eliminated from the body but it's going to be much less potent in a few hours.

If you have serious symptoms like the ones I've mentioned, you should visit the ER right away!

I hope you find my answer helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!
