What Could Be The Reason For Experiencing Liver Damage Symptoms?

Hi, I took Tylenol Cold a couple of different times last year when I was sick and on vacation...but did have some alcoholic beverages while on vacation both times. I have experienced a few of the symptoms mentioned about liver damage. Is there anything other than just avoiding alcohol that I should do? I also take milk thistle daily. I haven t mentioned anything to my family doctor at this point. I look forward to hearing back and getting your expertise on this. Thanks! Tammy

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If you have been consuming alcohol in high amounts and taking Tylenol regularly , you are at risk of liver damage.
To be sure get the following investiations :
1. Liver Function Test
2. Ultrasound Abdomen.
This would clear the picture f your liver has some effect due to alcohol or tylenol/
i would advise you not to consume any of them.
