Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
For one dose of children Advil, there will be no problem and you can stop worrying.
But if she have consumed more doses at a time or she is taking it frequently then there are chances of drug effects on her body.
If she consumed many doses over time or in a single day consult the pediatrician for further advise.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
