Proceed directly to the ER if you notice his breathing becomes labored, erratic or if he develops a blue tinge to his skin. If you live quite a distance from the ER, call 911.

If none of the suggestions of having him sit in the car seat upright works. Then I would call the pediatrician for further advisethis evening.
