Hi, thanks for your question.

Good you made her induce vomiting. However, you need to take her to the nearest emergency unit for further management which would include administering activated charcoal to prevent any later effects.

Even if there are no symptoms now, it is important that you take her to emergency.

I hope i have answered your question.

Best wishes.
