Is It Dangerous To Give 2 Doses Of Ibuprofen To Baby?

I accidentally gave my 8 month old ibuprofen two hours early. She is 17 lbs and I gave her 1.25 ml only four hours a part instead of 6. She has an ear infection and RSV and I thought I was giving her Tylenol the second time but instead gave her two doses of ibprofen. She fell asleep. Should I be worried?

Hello,

Nothing to worry this is just one time and nothing will happen. Your baby has fallen asleep not because of ibuprofen so calm down.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
