5 Symptoms of Liver Damage

3. Pain in upper right abdominal area

A pain or discomfort in the upper-right abdominal area could be telling sign of an inflammation in the liver. An inflamed liver could have been caused by several reasons from cirrhosis or ascites to a viral hepatitis infection.

In some cases, pain medication may be able to give you some temporary relief. But in other cases, excess consumption of certain over-the-counter medication itself can be the cause of liver damage, which is the underlying condition that would need to be treated to fully rid of its side effects.
