Hi, In the space of 3 days I consumed around 20 paracetamol for a sever tooth ache. I never spaces it out well but the most I ever took at once was 2, however I would eat 2 and then 1 hour later take 1 more etc. I started to get severe pain in my upper right side of abdomen where the liver is and it is tender to touch. I went to a and e where the doctor examined me and the stomach and felt it and she said it seems fine, she also said it's unlikely that I have overdosed. They done some blood tests including checking the paracetamol levels in the blood and liver function tests and a couple more. They all came back normal. So the doctor told me I am fine and have no liver damage and should not be worried. However, I still have pain by my liver and it is still tender to touch and I still feel sick and weak and shivery. Should I be concerned, I went to the a and e around 2 days after I started taking the paracetamol, so would normal liver tests be a good sign? Because I have read online that acute liver failure cannot be detected by lft. Thanks.
