Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Paracetamol is one of safest drug with high index of safety. If you could remember the number of tablet present and how much possibly he could have consumed. If the intake is more than 30mg per kilogramme body weight then consult your pediatrician.
