Would Paracetamol Overdose Cause Labyrinthitis?
Hi just over a weak ago i took 24 500mg tablets of paracetamol at once, I did not experience any vomitting or side effects at the time. 5 days ago i started feeling very dizzy and unsteady and the doctor told me I had labyrinthitis, could this be anything to do with the paracetamol overdose?

Hi,
Overdose of Parecetamol is unlikely to be the cause for labyrinthitis. The most common toxic effects due to paracetamol overdose is nausea, vomiting, right upper abdominal pain, liver dysfunction, fatigue, fever and jaundice. Labyrnthitis (inner ear disorder) could be due to certain infections caused by viruses or bacteria.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
