My sister has accidentally taken double paracetamol and just needs reassurance she'll be ok.
She had 2 paracetamol this morning. and now just took 2 paracetamol and without thinking took 2 co-codamol as well.
I told her she is most likely absolutely fine but she's worried so I said I would ask mumsnet.
Important information
she's very fat. (so am I) and her bmi is massive. my thinking is large body weight is an advantage here.
It's a small overdose and an amount hospitals give (2g loading dose) so unlikely to be harmful (this is just my opinion but I am not a medical professional)
My sister is blind and agoraphobic and is getting in a panic about if she calls 111 for reassurance they will call an ambulance.
She's scared she's accidentally harmed herself but more scared of being told to go to the hospital. She has some preexisting minor kidney damage but no liver problems.
Really need some calm, rational, knowledgeable opinions because this is a complex situation and not a case of just go to a& e to be on the safe side.
I tried to use 111 online but it wanted a nurse callback. Google is NOT your friend in these situations so I thought perhaps there might be a nurse/dr on mn who could reassure or advise.
