Does High Paracetamol Overdose Cause Harmful Side Effects?

I have a question about some actions that I did in the past and whether they could affect my current/future health. I took about 20-30 paracetamol at one go 3 years ago and never went to the doctors/hospital about it. I did the same thing the following year and this year I took 12 about two months ago. I am being treated for the psychological issues now but I have never asked a doctor whether this could affect my health. I also have gilbert s syndrome as a result of genetics. Thank you.

Hello,

Use heavy doses of paracetamol can damage the liber and so we should always be careful about it. You can get a lft and an abdominal ultrasound done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
