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.

Don't believe doctor google as it gives minimum to maximum end results of any symptom. You have shown to a doctor and investigated also, all reports are normal then why worried a lot? This unnecessary worry may trouble you more than those 20 paracetamol tablets. Stay calm and keep distance from doctor google.
