Have Abdominal Pain. Had Jaundice And Liver Was Infected. Related?

I had suffered from severe jaundice when I was 9 yrs old.. Due to that my liver got severely infected and became more tender & enlarged. Sometimes I have terrible abdominal pain due to which I can't even get up from my bed. Now whenever I eat something of outside, I feel that pain crawling up inside me. I want to know that is my liver getting terrible ? Will it harm me in near future ? I'm just 17 right now..!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, you suffered jaundice possibly viral hepatitis 8 years back usually such hepatitis are self limiting and liver becomes completely normal after full recovery.
In only some cases of chronic hepatitis like B or C chronic liver failure develops so please visit your Physician or Gastroenterologist to test for any abnormality and test for viral markers if necessary and ultrasonography to detect any abnormality in liver.
Pain in abdomen may be due to stones in kidney or gallbladder or disease of intestine itself.
Please go for medical checkup and if any cause is detected it can be treated there is nothing to worry.
Wish you good luck.
Take care.
