What Are The Symptoms Of Poisoning With Advil In A 16 Month Old?

My 16 month old was playing with one of my handbags that had loose advil in it. I m not sure if she ingested any pills since I m not sure how many were in it to start with. She s sleeping now and I just realized there were pills laying on our floor. What symptoms should I be looking for if in fact she ate some?

HI
Thank for asking query to HCM
Advil (Ibuprofen) mainly used for pain and fever and it is much safe drug, it can only create some side effects when person is sensitive to it, or it is being given in large dose (Lethal dose) otherwise is it the safe drug, in your case not the whole tablet being ingested more over it is the sugar coated pill what ever there might be on your finger that might not be the actual drug so it is nothing to worry about any side effecting, just very small amount of drug if even ingested may not induce any side effect so it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
