Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
The normal dosage for 19 kg child is 150 mg, i assume you have given 200(not 20 mg as you have mentioned). There is definitely no cause fo concern.
It is unlikely to be harmful.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
