Explanation

Taking too much Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen, can be dangerous. Early signs of an overdose often include feelings of nausea, vomiting, and pain in the upper right side of the stomach. You might also feel tired or lose your appetite.

If the overdose is severe, it can cause serious liver damage. Later signs of liver damage may include yellowing of the skin or eyes (called jaundice), confusion, and even a coma. It's very important to get help quickly if you think you or someone else has taken too much Tylenol.

Here are some key points to remember:

  • Early Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and loss of appetite.
  • Severe Symptoms: Yellow skin/eyes, confusion, and possible coma.

If you suspect an overdose, contact emergency services or go to a hospital immediately. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent serious health problems.
