What Are The Side Effects Of Ibuprofen?

I have a 18month old girl. My wife accidently gave her next Ibuprofen dosage 3 hrs early, maybe earlier. What kind of side effects should we see? This was last night and my wife said she was very restless and was screaming like crazy. This medicine is for a fever and my daughter never acts like this.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Do not get panic. The dose is a bit higher than usual. As long as no neurological alteration has been noted so far, then, nothing to worry.

If your girl is still screaming then perhaps she might be having tummy ache or any teething issue to get checked.

All the best.
