Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
There is nothing in gripe water that would be considered toxic. At worst, it can cause some abdominal pain if too much is taken. That is most likely what your daughter is experiencing. With a little time, the pain will resolve and she will be fine.
