I have a cold.
Friday, I took 2 Dayquil pills at 11AM, 3PM, and 7PM.
Each dose had 325 mg of acetaminophen.
Later that night starting around 11 PM I had about 4 drinks of alcohol.
I got drunk a lot quicker. In fact, this was probably the most drunk I have ever been personally and I've had 10 or more drinks before in my life.
I was feeling fine that night and slept from 3AM to 10AM.
In the morning, I had a slight ache in my upper right abdomen, so I'm wondering what effect exactly does this have on my liver?
If I understand this correctly, acetaminophen has a half life of 3 hours.
Doing the math...I had about roughly 250 mg of acetaminophen in my system at 11PM when I started drinking.
I didn't have much of an appetite on Saturday, and felt sort of dehydrated.
I forced myself to eat something later that day, and really never felt full like I normally would after a meal.
4 days later, I finally have my appetite back, but I still feel bloated around my intestines and sometimes I have aches in my stomach and around my liver.
1) Do I have anything to worry about regarding long term effects on my liver?
2) Is there anything that I can do to help the short term healing process of the liver?
3) For how long should I avoid taking acetaminophen or alcohol?
4) What is causing the pain around my stomach, liver, and intestines?
Best answer will be given to the person who can answer these 4 questions sufficiently.
