What side effects can be the result of this? Because of my high fevers of long duration — 20 days out of 30 — I followed the directions of the emergency room doctors who advised me to take medication to bring down the fever.
I was taking two tylenol 4 times per day. When I was admitted to hospital with Stage 3B Hodgkins lymphoma, I went through severe jaundice — edema and yellow skin all over. I try not to take more than 3 or 4 in a month.
