Am I doing damage with Tylenol?
Female, 27 approximately 160lbs. No other medications. Don’t smoke and haven’t drank in well over a year.
I came down with influenza B and I can’t get my 101+ fever to break without extra strength Tylenol. I started at about 2000mg a day for the first three days, which is under the daily limit, and now I take 500mg about twice a day. I’m on day 5 of this fever, and the urgent care near me told me there is nothing else I am able to take, as I am breastfeeding.
I know I’m taking less than the daily limit, but I have slight health anxiety and I worry that I am doing some damage to my body by taking it for so many days in a row, but I’m unsure of what else to do. Am I damaging my liver?
Thank you for the input!
