Get an ultrasound of abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Liver and gall bladder are two main organs located at the site mentioned by you.

I would suggest that you get evaluated by a surgeon and get tested including an ultrasound of abdomen and liver function tests, complete blood count.

Meanwhile take precautions like drink cleaner water, hygienic food, regular exercise.
