Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern.
Don't fear a police case and take your wife to a hospital.
Paracetamol overdose can cause liver failure.
Don't try any home remedies and trust the doctors in the ER.
Better be safe than sorry.
She needs hospitalization and observation for 2 days.
She should be fine if treated well.
Consult your local doctor for hospitalization .
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
