Quick Answer

Paracetamol very rarely causes side effects when taken correctly. Serious reactions can include allergy, liver problems or unusual bleeding. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty or swelling. An overdose can damage the liver before symptoms appear, so get medical help even if you feel well.
