In the Consumer Report Guide to Health, I found an article stating that the leading cause of acute liver disease is not stemming from the typically assumed sources such as hepatitis or alcohol…but rather the culprit is acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen is the pain relieving ingredient in many headache, joint pain and cold medications. It has been linked with other health issues in teens.
You can avoid the dangers of overdosing by avoiding overlapping over-the-counter medications with multiple ingredients. Read the labels for the “active ingredients”. This is especially true when using medications for children.
If your symptoms are not relieved, call your doctor. There may be a more serious underlying problem that is being masked by the home use of an over-the-counter drug.
