Hi...I don,t think you should worry. But what ever it is worth you need to take her to a doctor. This particular medicine is not licensed to be used in kids of this age and so she needs to be examined for untoward effects.

The danger signs include - chest pain, feeling short of breath, light-headed feeling, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, insomnia, nausea, upset stomach, feeling nervous or excited.

I am suggesting to get her examined because, none of the above mentioned symptoms can be expressed by a 2 year old.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
