Brief Answer:
Get investigated.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome back.
See Diclofenac and Atorvastatin are the two drugs that can harm liver.
However with the current symptoms this is important to rule out Obstructive Jaundice.
I advice you following:
1. Ultrasound abdomen.
2. Liver function test.
3. Urine routine and microscopy.
