Chewed Ibuprofen gel capsule

Question

Asked for Female, 22 Years

I took one ibuprofen gel capsule (200mg) and bit into and swallowed it. The liquid caused my tounge to feel numb briefly and my throat to feel a burning sensation. Now my throat still hurts 16 hrs. later and appears to have slight redness. It hurts mostly when I swallow. What should I do? Is chewing ibuprofen dangerous?
