I doubt liver damage from taking tylenol unless she combined it with drinking alcohol. I recommend consulting a specialist in internal medicine for a thorough evaluation including thorough history&system review, complete physical examination & appropriate testing. She may be referred to another specialist such as a gastroenterologist depending upon the assessment.

I get migraines and about 15 days of each month I take 2 Excedrin or 2 Ex St Tylenol.. Never more than 2 of whichever I chose on a single day... Will I have liver damage or is it more about taking too much in a 24 HR period that causes the damage?
