First of all the question is why did you need to take 4 Dolos in 20 min?
If it was an acute pain issue then the idea would be to resolve it by asking the question to a specialist and then using a shorter acting medication . If your kidney function is compromised already then you can have issues with overdosage .

Paracetamol could taken 1 gm every 6 hours in a day.4 Dolo tablets are unlikely to cause severe damage to the liver.However you can check your liver enzymes and repeat it after 2 days.

Dolo can be taken 6hourly in a 24hr period i.e 4 times a day
It doesn’t seem like you took 4 Dolo’s for only pain and fever per se
Any medicine on an average requires 30mins - 1 hr to start it’s action except IV medications which are directly injected into the bloodstream
Kindly avoid such future self-medication as it can be severely injurious to your health
Whenever you feel your health conditions are uncontrollable visit your nearest clinic/hospital
As of now don’t do anything
Nothing is more likely to happen
Rest easy and put a cold clothe on your forehead and lie down comfortably
Make sure someone is with you at this point of time

Paracetamol is a relatively safe drug but can have certain side effects.
No need to panic but do watch for symptoms like Abdominal pain/discomfort, Bleeding from multiple sites, nausea, vomiting or any difficulty in breathing or decrease in orientation.
Next Steps
It would be better to visit a doctor and keep yourself under observation for some time as the symptoms may take certain time to show up. Do certain investigations like CBC, LFT, PT, APTT INR
