Accidentaly took too much medicine?

So earlier i had a migraine so i took two excedrin which is 250mg of asprin and 250mg of acetominophin. Then my hip started bothering me probably about 7 hours later so i took two 500mg acetominophins. Then i looked at the excedrin bottle and was like oh no! I wasnt allowed to take both medicines. I wouldnt e as worried if i wasnt only 110 pounds and didnt have work tomorrow. I drank a whole bottle of water and am now eating crackers, is there anything else i can do? Will i feel okay tomorrow?

    you dont need to do anything...you took a total of 1000 mg of acetaminophen. the limit is 4000 mg in a 24 hr period. you will be fine!

    You didn't take enough to cause any problem that would prevent you from going to work, but your poor liver.You need to lighten up on the acetominophin. If you don't have stomach problems, like a bleeding ulcer, it'd be better to take enteric coated aspirin. If you don't take anymore, you'll be okay to work. Don't drink anymore water, and get some rest.
