Why Is The Pain Under The Right Rib Cage Having A History Of Liver Infection And Syphilis?
Good day sir.
I'm a 22years old I had acne since I was 16, I had a liver infection last year... I think that's caused because of alcohol and syphilis, I survived all of it but now I have a pain just under the right rib, sometimes in my back and sometimes a bit far from the rib, same side just down.. So I don't know if it's my liver again or its my stomach. Pls tell me what is should do about it. I spoke to my doctor about he gave me pain killers for the pain and the doxitab for my acne. The acne dosnt Completely go away I just getting better but as soon as I stop it Comes back

Hi and welcome to HCM.
It can be both liver stomach but also gallbladder stones so these are first things to check. you should do liver ultrasound and check gallbaldder stones and liver enzymes. it will reveal is there some serious patology which I doubt. Till you do this you should change dietary habits and avoid alcohol completely.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
