3 Year Old. Given High Dose Of Cold Medicine, 3ml Instead Of 1ml. Is There Any Problem?

My 3 yr old (33LBS) was given 5ml of Little noses multisymptom cold med by accident... instead of the 1ml given the day before..this was on Dec 31.2012. Monitered with no symptoms... now I am concerned about overdose. Is there need to be concerned with this amount & should I get her checked further. The only thing that I can say is that she has said her stomach hurt a few times during the last week but nothing else. Please let me know
