Suggest Treatment For Pain In Right Side Of Abdomen
I woke up this morning with pain in my right side, abdominal area, it is very extreme when I take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, or laugh. It is tolerable when I am sitting, but it is very painful when I stand or walk and somewhat more painful when lying down. I have had my gall bladder removed already and I know from recent blood tests that I have a very fatty liver that I m awaiting to see a specialist for. Should I go to the ER? Or should I just call my doctor tomorrow morning?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You should immediately go to ER.
The pain in abdomen which increases on all the activities you say is an indication that there is a severe process of inflammation going on either in the abdomen like appendicitis, right kidney abscess or some problem in the lower lung or pleural cavity.
You need urgent investigations:"
*Hemogram, urine tests.
*ultrasonography
*X-ray of chest.
You need an admission:
Intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
Proper diagnosis
And treatment as indicated by the investigations
