Is Accidental Ingestion Of Ibuprofen Tablet By A Toddler A Serious Concern?

My toddler (3) has taken an ibuprofen tablet while I wasn’t watching (200mg) Will she be okay or do I need to take her to hospital? She says she only took 1 which I’m inclined to believe to be true as there’s 5 missing out the pack and I have 2 at a time She weighs around 19kg

Hi,

You do not need worry for the serious adverse affects at this dose. In my opinion, there is no urgent need to rush to hospital. You should observe for any abdominal pain in your baby.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
