Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns but don't worry. The drug will not cause any significant side effects from a single dose. It may cause mild gastritis and occasional vomiting for which antacid such as ranitidine or digene will be useful. Be careful with drugs in future as this age is prone to accidental poisonings.

Hopefully this will be of help.
Take care
