It is safe.: As long as you don't take excessive amounts, it is perfectly safe to take 1or 2 tabs at night.

Don't worry, but: Do think about a better solution to whatever this chronic pain is. Definitely avoid higher doses - there are long term damage to liver and other possible problems. Yu don't describe the issue but I hope it can be corrected, not just tolerated. Check it out! Be careful. Be well!

Safe if no overdose: As long as you don't take more than 3 grams of Panadol (acetaminophen) a day, there's no need to worry about long term liver damage. Acetaminophen is also present in other medical products (like prescription and combination over-the-count, including cough, cold, and flu relief products), so you need stay wary and on the look-out about whether any of your other medications contain the ingredient.
