Hi,

Noted your history of consuming alcohol for the last 25 years, tried to stop, have now pain in right side of abdomen in liver area, wants to know the cause and remedy for pain and deaddiction.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
First of all consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations:
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Fibroscan for liver to know the extent of damage.
Tests of blood: CBC, liver functions with serum proteins and GGT, pancreas, kidney and other functions as need may be.
Tests of urine and stool.
All this will lead to a diagnosis and tell about the state of liver and other organs in the body.
The treatment will be as per the findings in the investigations.
To stop alcohol you need to consult a de-addiction center run by a Psychiatrist and follow the medications, counselling and advice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
