Is There Any Harm If 1/3rd Of Phenergan Suppository Goes Into The Rectum Of A Kid?

My ten yr. old has been vomiting terrible. I split a Phenergan suppository into thirds and gave her one third. She moved and I m not sure if the suppository went into the vagina or rectum. It burned a little and rinsing area with cold water and cold compresses stopped the burning. Will this cause her any harm? Just wanted to ease the retching she kept having. Would it be OK to give any zofran in small doses or would there be an interaction or too much medicine?
