Hello, This is something which may be related to your liver or lungs. To be sure of the ailment and treat it we need XRay chest and an ultrasound abdomen. Only after these two tests we can make a correct proceedings. till then please avoid spicy , fatty food and alcohol/smoking. Please get the tests as the symptoms have already been there for a week now. you may take a pain killer for - e.g., aceclofenac.
Good luck. Dr. Manisha Gopal
