Hello,
Pain at the right side of abdomen may be due to hepatitis or cholangitis or cholicystitis or right renal caliculi or right colon obstruction etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. please get it done ultrasound abdomen and liver function tests and urine examination. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
