I accidentally took 9 Crocin tablets all at once. I'm really worried about what might happen. Can you please tell me what the possible side effects or risks might be?

Taking 9 tablets of Crocin (Paracetamol) at once can lead to an overdose of the medication. The side effects of an overdose of Crocin may include liver damage, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to liver failure. It is important to seek medical help immediately if an overdose is suspected. The usual recommended dosage of Crocin is 1-2 tablets (500mg each) every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours for adults.

Question

I was cleaning my bathroom with Clorox bleach spray and kind of went overboard with it. Now, for the last 4 hours, all I can smell is bleach. I even took a nap hoping I'd get better, but when I woke up, I still smelled the bleach. Then, out of nowhere, I got these really bad lower abdominal pains and ended up vomiting an hour later. My stomach doesn't hurt as much now, but it's still uncomfortable. Should I be worried and maybe go to the emergency room, or is it better to just try and relax until it passes?
