Does Advil Intake In A Child Cause Any Side Effects?

We found Advil remnants (coating on tablets not present) in the trash Wednesday night. I asked my 4 year old great granddaughter and she said they didn’t taste good. She seemed fine...she has thrown up twice today after eating, she does not have a fever. Should we take her to the ER? She is playing and seems fine right now.
