Hi...Paracetamol over dosage is a quite common and now a days becoming overwhelming important as more cases are being reported. But as it is 2 weeks down the line, you kid would have definitely excreted the drug from the system by now. So do not worry. From next time be careful. The danger sigs of acute toxicity due to paracetamol are - jaundice/ sleeplessness/ altered behaviour/ excessive sleepiness/ seizures.
