[|AI|]  Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The pain in your stomach immediately after Chat Doctor.  The dull pain on the right side of your abdomen could be due to anything ranging from inflammation of the liver to an infection in the gall bladder, and more so could be due to a developing inflammation in the pancreas which is very common in those who consume alcohol. The extent of damage to any of these organs could be judged by a clinical examination by a physician along with related investigations for liver and pancreas like LFT, serum amylase, serum lipase, and an ultrasound/CT scan of the abdomen. Management would depend on the reports of these investigations. However, it is not known why you indulge in alcohol inspire of knowing that it could damage your liver, and other organs as well. The main treatment of your condition is total abstinence from alcohol, and this only your strong determination could do, and no one else. I am sure, you could do this, as you have come out to discuss your problem with the doctor. When you know what is a poison for you, you have got all the reasons to leave it. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
