Tylenol questions?!
Question:
Tylenol questions?
I have cherry flavoured, liquid Tylenol. Its the only thing that helps with my ear ache pain. I started taking it at 2:30 last night, and I've taken it four times. But my ear has started hurting again and I need more, however, on the package it says "No more than four oz. in 24 hours." Since its not 2:30 am yet, its not technically 24 hours. In fact its only 5 PM so I have a ways to go. Is this warning like something real? Am I going to die if I do this? Is there a way around this? lol
Answers:
the warning is set at a very low level so that noone can overdose on it. chances are you'll be fine - how old are you? how much do you weigh? do you have hepatitis? do you drink more than one standard drink of alcohol per day? are you male or female?
i'll advise you to not take anymore only because i don't know the answer to these questions. Tylenol is a pretty safe drug so you've got to take a fair bit to o/d and you are nowhere near it.
me personally i take a bit extra. its a problem if you take extra regularly - for a one off theres almost no risk
