Brief Answer:
Take her to emergency...

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for asking on this platform

I can understand your concern. Parad tablets contain Mercury. The immediate treatment is stomach wash. Ideally it should be done within an hour of ingestion of toxic substance. But can be done till 3-4 hours of consumption.
I request you to visit an ER for stomach wash.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more doubts.
Regards
