What Causes Abdominal Pain On The Right Side While Suffering From Hepatitis?

I was recently diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. This evening I came home, and since then I ve had a very sharp pain in the upper right side of my abdomen. It will dull from time to time but then it comes back with force. To the point I have to put my hand on the area and either rub it or I have to bend over. What do you think I should do?
