Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Ibuprofen overdose: That amount of Ibuprofen can cause all kinds of bleeding problems like a stress ulcer, bleeding in your intestine or your urinary tract as well as your nervous system, so youve abused your body once, dont do it again by not seeking treatment.
