Answer:

Beta Blocker

Explanation:

Some of the side effects of Beta blockers on children include:

low blood pressure, sleepiness, lightheadedness, dizziness. tiredness, weakness, nausea and dry mouth.

Beta blockers will ensure that the smooth muscles in blood vessels gets relaxed; this will lead to dilation of the blood vessels and thereby a decrement in the child's blood pressure.

The child's muscles will then become contracted in the airways which will definitely lead to the constriction of the respiratory tree.
