Hi & Welcome.
Sorry to know about your present situation which is unfortunately due to Tylenol induced liver problem.
When taken in larger doses, Tylenol can cause severe liver damage resulting in right upper abdominal pain, vomiting, jaundice, passing high colored urine, etc.
This toxicity can be reversed by taking specific antidote like N Acetylcysteine or Methionine along with supportive management of toxicity.
Hope this answers your query.
