My daughter is in hosp being treated for Tylenol O.D. her mentation is drastically altered. What should I ask her DOCTOR?toni
@Toni， A Tylenol overdose, if treated within 8 hours of overdose, has a good chance of recovery. A delayed treatment with a very large overdose can be fatal because of liver failure. Here are a few things you need to know about.

1. Is her liver functioning normally? People with impaired liver function have a higher risk, since Tylenol is metabolized through liver.
2. Does she have normal kidney function?
3. How much acetaminophen is in her blood? Is it a high, mild, or low value?
4. Do the symptoms show she's beeing overdosing Tylenol for a time?
5. How are her vital signs now?
