Took Tylenol Along With Cold Medicine And Lortabs. Should I Be Concerned?

I also took 2 lortabs (the same mentioned above) due to pain this morning (sunday).
Thank you for the query.
Usually the toxic dosage of Acethaminophen varies between 10 000 - 15 000 mg. So there is a chance that 5500 mg wont cause life threatening toxic liver damage (it depends of the individual liver enzymes ability to metabolize it), but this is just a theory.
This is the dosage which for sure caused SOME damage of your liver (you never know how serious this damage is). And as the first symptoms of liver damage do appear after 2 days of Acethaminophen intake, I suggest you to visit your doctor as soon as possible. Liver tests should be done and Acethaminophen level tested. There are medicines which can be given for Acethaminophen intoxication.
And please do not take Loratabs as it also contains Acethaminophen and you can make your liver condition worse.
It takes 24 hours for complete Acethaminophen elimination and next dosage can be taken after that time.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
