Dr. Wang Xuemei
Fatty liver with right-sided pain: if the condition is caused by alcohol consumption or eating foods high in fat, it is recommended to get adequate rest and avoid fatty foods and alcohol in the near term. This can effectively alleviate localized pain symptoms. If the pain is due to disease flare-up, treatment with orlistat-like medications is recommended.
