Call poison control. Bring her to the hospital. Why are you on Yahoo when your daughter could be in serious danger?

Can you do more? I'd call your doctor and see what they say, or maybe even poison control. It's not something to joke around with, really...get off Y/A and call your doctor. It may not seem bad to you, but wouldn't it be better for your daughter to be safe than sorry?

For children 10-17 years old, the maximum allowable dose is 40mg. However, for kids younger, the effect of the said dose has not been studied. I agree that you should take your daughter to the doctor since the medication she took was not intended for her.
