Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand your concerns. It seems to be an overdose of ibuprofen. However, the primary adverse effect consist of abdominal pain due to gastritis. In any case, you should take the child to the ER without delay. They would be able to observe for possible adverse effects and would be able to intervene accordingly.
