Suggest Treatment For Liver Pain
I m 30 years old and have been a heavy drinker for the past 7 years (at least a handle of rum or a 12 pack of beers 4-5 nights a week). I quit drinking cold turkey two days ago and now I am experiencing a mild tender pain in my liver. Is this normal?

Hello
Right sided abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like liver or gall bladder problem,right kidney problem etc.
You may need clinical correlation and few investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen is very important in your case and it can exclude many causes.
It is good that you have quit drinking.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
Take Care
