I just realised that Paracetamol poisoning is real and I've been doing it for years now with clear signs of symptons and complications on my body

Can anyone whose studying in the medical course or is a nurse/doctor tell me what treatment I should get? Quora is slow af.

    ibuprofen is the only i can think of, you can't use acetaminophen if you want to stay away from paracetamol

    go see a doctor to have your liver function checked, since paracetamol overdose affects your liver.
    there is an antidote for paracetamol overdose available (N-acetylcysteine) which would help break down the excess paracetamol, but this is only when you actually have the paracetamol in your body at the time of consumption. If you've been having liver symptoms for a while now, this probably wouldn't really work since your liver would already be affected.
    If you need meds for pain relief, use paracetamol (after you've checked that you don't have any lasting liver problems and can safely take it) and ibuprofen together. that should help with pain relief without you having to overdose on either medicine.
    or if you can't take paracetamol, you don't have much choice but to take ibuprofen/aspirin/other stronger pain medications
