Hi,
Ibuprofen if taken in larger doses can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, irritation to the stomach, ulcer or bleeding. It may take few minutes to hours to cause these side effects. I advise you to observe your daughter for the side effects mentioned above. She must be seen in the emergency in case if she develops the above symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
