Brief Answer:
I would recommend you to get ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Hello madam,
I have studied your case and I would suggest you to get ultrasound examination of the right side of the abdomen to find out if any thing is abnormal. Most probably you are having hepatitis or enlarge fatty liver.
I would also suggest you to get liver function test.
Till you get your all investigation done I would suggest you to take tablet Pan D after discussing with your doctor. Avoid eating very fatty diets. try to reduce your weight if possible.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any followup questions.
