Doctor: HelloRight sided abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,acidity,musculoskeletal reasons etc.Ultrasound of abdomen may be normal in these cases.You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME.Upper GI endoscopy can be done if needed.Proper treatment depend upon findings.You should avoid alcohol completely.It may compromise your liver and it may be the reason for abdominal pain.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
