Hi Anon,

Most liver cysts do not cause any symptoms. However, if cysts become large, they can cause bloating and pain in the upper right part of your abdomen. Sometimes, liver cysts become large enough that you can feel them through your abdomen.

Most liver cysts do not need to be treated. However, if cysts get large and painful, they may need to be drained or surgically removed. Cysts also may be surgically removed if they are stopping bile from reaching your intestine.

If a parasite is found, antibiotics are used for treatment.

You will need to wait until you see your doctor for treatment of the cyst. In the meantime, you can probably take something for pain such as Motrin, however, it is probably best that you place a phone call to your doctors office prior to taking anything for pain. Certain pain medications and other self-medicating treatments are likely the only things you should be avoiding right now.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
