Except some liver injury, there should not be much problem. Get his liver function tests done . Make him drink adequate water. Liv 52 syrup will be helpful to prevent liver damage.

High dose of Paracetamol , taken for a long time is hepatotoxic, So if suspecting PCM overdose do a Liver Function Test, & Prothrombin time, Henceforth give PARASAFE in stead of plain PCM for the same purpose that is comparatively safe
