Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Nitasha Khan. I have read you question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.
yes that can be the cause tylenol toxicity subsides over time and if it caused abdominal pain ......also abdominal pain can be caused by constipation.....rather than embarking on laxatives my advice wil be to hydrate your son give him water and fresh juices give him fibrous diet rich in greens ....also if he is compliant a table spoon of olive oil in a glas of warm milk at night can do miracles

I hope this answered your question.If you have more queries I am happy to answer.Otherwise rate and close the discussion
