Hi, my daughter is 11 months old& we think she swallowed a gel Advil pill bc we had 2 of the pills& my daughter started choking, I noticed one bitten up stuck to her shirt so I immediately stuck my finger in her mouth to try to scoop it out& she started choking more like if she swallowed it more down into her throat so I grabbed her took her to the restroom& made her throw up,then I have her some of her milk& after that she fell asleep, should I be concerned still& worry about my daughter ODing!!. Please help, I am a first time mom

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Advil contains ibuprofen which can be given to children also. Two pills should not be a cause of concern and since the choking has already been relieved you may relax. However, keep observing her and if you see anything abnormal, take her to a doctor immediately.
