Hi,
The common side effects of Asthalin (Salbutamol) are headache, palpitation (increased heartbeat), muscle cramps, etc. Breathlessness may be one of the worst symptoms. Oxygen deprivation makes the child drowsy, If it is first time , it is okay with it. But if it repeats, rule out chronic conditions such as allergy, bronchial asthma or any cardiac anomalies. Consult a pediatrician at the earliest, if the symptoms persists.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
