HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The exact dose that she would normally take is 2 to 2 1/2 tsp depending on her weight and the strength of the particular ibuprofen that you have.
It is possible that she would be okay. The medication is not likely the cause of her pain since it is a pain relief medication.
It may be associated with irritation of the stomach.
Using children's reflux medication if needed and keeping her hydrated as suggested should be fine.
I hope this helps
