Answers:
Some people use cough medicines as a drug, they can make you high or slow you down, depending on the formula. She probably won't have to go to the emergency room, but you all should call a poison control center and just ask what the effects are, and whether she will need to see a doctor. You can google the number for one in your area. It should be toll-free.Health Question & Answer
She will be fine. The sough syrup usually has codeine in it and in some people it makes them hyper. She needs to get some rest and drink water. Health Question & Answer
