Suggest Remedy For Accidental Intake Of Liquid Paraffin

My daughter (21 months) old drank paraffin, we gave her a lot of water and immediately induced vomiting, she did vomit and we could see some paraffin in the liquid vomit. We then gave her milk to neutralize the little that could have remained. Was this diagnosis right, and what dangers does she seem likely to face? After 10 hours off the incident however the kid looks fine, after how long should we expect to see changes and what symptoms should we be on the lookout for?
