Brief Answer:
It is ok that you took 10 ml p250 syrup.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. If temperature is not 100 and above no need to take paracetamol. But as you took one dosage it is ok. It can be due to viral fever or throat irritation from beer.
You can just wait and see whether it improves or another symptom appears. No need to take paracetamol if fever is not 100 and above. She can take chewable vitamin C , warm fluids like tea with lemon , warm chicken soup with pepper etc. Also get some rest.

The effect of p250 10ml will last for 4 to 6hours.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
