Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

You should take her to your doctor as soon as Possible. Phenyl can cause detrimental effects both immediately and later during the course of time. Immediate effect is the one she is having like burning sensation in throat etc. This could happen due to either the chemical itself and second due to vomit that she had.

Late effects usually starts when the chemical gets absorbed into the system via stomach. The effect depends upon the the quantity absorbed ,the amount that was vomited and time you started taking treatment. Common ones are pain in abdomen,vomiting,burning in stomach,muscle weakness etc.

Though she seems stable now, it is important that she be monitored at an hospital for untoward complications.

Please visit a doctor soon.
