Is Ibuprofen Ingestion By A Child Harmful?

My son is 2about 34lbs. He just dumped a bottle of ibuprofen not sure how he managed to get the top off...i don t think he ate any. I saw him taking one toward his mouth but took it from him before it got there. I stuck my finger in there and didn t find any. I really don t think he ate any. But in case he did what should I watch for

HI...You need look for incessant vomiting, blood in the vomiting, sever pain in the tummy, loss of appetite, decreased urine output, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, diarrhea, nausea, breathing difficulty, agitation, drowsiness, skin rash, excessive sweating and seizures.
Rush to emergency room if any of these develop.
