At 16kg, 100mg is not an overdose. At the high end of the dosing range he could have 128mg. I just suggest you don't let him ingest any more. Here is an information sheet regarding side effects, etc. https://www.petplace.com/article/drug-library/drug-library/library/ibuprofen-motrin-advil-etc-for-dogs/
