Hello,

I suggest you get a sonography done. Normally the pain on the right side radiating to the back and increase on coughing or respiration suggest an acute inflammation of the gall bladder or gall stones.

So I suggest you get an ultrasound done and take painkillers for the same. I want to know, is there any vomiting or reflux of food associated? Take syrup gelusil also. Follow up with the sonography report and get an LFT done too.


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

Regards,
Dr. Jinela Desouza
