Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that long term prognosis for paracetamol is very good. There is nothing to worry about. Only thing you have to take care for it is the acid base balance of the body. Taking care of balance will almost cure you. Paracetamol overdosing is the safest amongst all the drug overdose.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
