Hello,

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

2000 mg of Tylenol is not a dangerous dose.

Use plenty of fluids and avoid physical efforts for a couple of days.

If you notice any symptoms such vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. get evaluated by your Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
