After discussion with local medical given him antigin(omee).after 1 hour she is complning headaches and very less hesitation in stomach.

Brief Answer:
Not much risk

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
First, the vomiting doesn't help.
Phenyl gets absorbed very fast.
So better to monitor her vitals.
Headache is a sign possible due to vomit.
If she's eating no problem.
However, I would still want you to meet a ER specialistto check out the vitals .
Her risk is low. 4 to 5 ml should not be a problem.
But a check up is needed indeed.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
