Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting you query.
Well looking into your problem the symptoms you are mentioning are non specific and can point to a number of conditions . So giving a diagnosis is difficult but we can discuss the options.
You need to see a gastroenterologist , get a USG ABDOMEN , UGI ENDOSCOPY , CBC done with all routine tests. You are having pain in the liver region that can be due to liver problem or due to some other structure like pancreas etc . It can be due to liver abscess , gall stones , gastric or duodenal ulceration, acute pancreatitis , acute cholecystitis etc. So , exact etiology needs to be determined before starting any treatment
You need to see your doctor immediately as the pain is severe and any medication can be given after establishing the cause plus physical examination is necessary for localising the exact site of pain.
Take care.
