Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry much for this incidence.
Mosquito repellent solutions are not much harmful.
Stomach acid usually neutralize it and it is excreted in urine and feaces.
So no need to worry much about your daughter's Health.
She won't develop any symptoms or trouble.
But you should watch for diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever etc.
If any of these symptoms is seen then consult doctor.
Otherwise, no need to rush to the doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
