I am going to force myself to not answer this sarcastically because you really phrased it in a way which i can crack like 50 jokes about.
Take him to a hospital. It can have some serious side effects (liver damage; etc..)
If it's the hospital that overdosed him; then don't worry I'm sure they will counteract that.
If you want to induce vomiting; go to your local pharmacy and get Syrup of Ipacac; it's what the hospital will use (you should have it at home in case of emergencies anyway with your first aid kit) It'll make him throw it up. BUT it only works before the drug is digested (within 10 minutes; or 5 minutes depending on how old your child is)

All drugs have side effects. differenct drugs have different side effects. In this case it depends what kind of drug you were given to your son. if it was steriod, it can casue
trouble sleeping,
indigestion
anxiety and fidgeting.
Hope it helps. If you have any doubt about this issue talk to your doctor.

there are many anti sickness drugs out there in practice so it would be more helpful if you stated which one as each drug have different side effects..
plus it would be better if you went to his doctor and i'm sure she/he would be able to help you further or your local pharmacist.

You should always call the poison control center. My son had the same problem once. They told me to check for diahreah and vomiting and high fever. It was only for childrens tylenol. I dont know what kind you used. Just keep checking on him
