Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your question here.
I understand your worry regarding your child.
Emeset contains Ondansetron, it is a centrally acting antiemetic (anti vomiting) medicine, that means it acts on the vomiting center in the brain.
Since it blocks 5HT3 receptors, overdosage/toxic effects will be due to blocking the action of serotonin.
No severe toxic effects have been reported, so please do not panic. But do take her to a pediatrician and get her looked at to make sure she is doing fine.
Hope this information is helpful.
Wishing you and your child best of health.
Warm regards
