Brief Answer:
Urgently take the child to the ER

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. GoodKnight contains a neurotoxin and you should take the child to the Emergency department of a hospital without delay. There is no home based first aid that would help. Your child has to be kept under observation and symptomatic management has to be done. There is no specific antidote for allethrin or pralletrin, the active ingredient of GoodKnight.

Brief Answer:
Observation

Detailed Answer:
It is good to know that she has been taken to a hospital. Hopefully nothing other than stomach upset would occur. But the possibility of any other problems needs to be kept in consideration. Hence the role of observation.

Brief Answer:
Wait and watch.

Detailed Answer:
Most often nothing other than stomach upset occurs. Drowsiness and parasthesias may sometimes be seen. It is the neurological symptoms that we are primarily concerned about. However, they are infrequently encountered.
