My daughter is 1.5yo..and ate a little bit of a 200mg ibuprofean. she is 28lbs will she be ok?

Maximal daily dose for children is 40mg/kg divided every 6- 8 hours. So your daughter only took a slightly high dose, she should be OK. Please be careful with your household medications.

At about 13 kg, a dose of 200 mg if she had eaten the whole thing is in the therapeutic range. The usual dose would have been 130 mg. So you do not have to worry about this dose.
