Hi,
You should visit the emergency room. Accidentally ingested overdose of folic acid is generally not toxic however based on your history you should visit the emergency room of your nearby hospital to get treated for the symptoms that you have been suffering for the last four days.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
