Hi,
Thanks for your query to health care magic.
Don't worry,from what you are describing your daughter has hardly ingested the drug .
Symptoms of ponstan overdose usually manifests within 4 hours. Since your baby is fine don't panic just watch for any of the following symptoms
nausea, vomiting, vomiting blood, shallow breathing,convulsions etc. If any of these occurs take her to emergency room immediately .
Takecare,
