Dr. Corey Clay answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Please go to the ER: Depending on the acetaminophen dose, it could be toxic. I'm not sure what piriton is, but it can't help. This is a very dangerous situation, and at the least, you can discuss any feelings or life stressors with somebody who can listen. We all care about you!
