Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concern...

Well, practically speaking there shouldn't be any problem (as the toxic dose is much higher, more than 100mg/kg)...just ensure she remains well hydrated by drinking a lot of water...

It should pass within a few hours only, just keep her under observation for the time being...However, if at all notice any severe abdominal pain, difficulty concentrating, irritability, rashes over any body parts, severe vomiting then please don't wait any more and take her to the nearest ER/children's hospital for a prompt check-up...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
