Brief Answer:
Please take her to a doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

I suggest you to take her to a doctor as soon as possible. This is too high dosage for such small child. It may cause sleepiness and at worse breathing problems.
There will be no life threatening if she get constant monitoring.

So do not wait and go to a doctor.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
