Question : I've started to experience acute liver and pancreas pain (for a 3-rd day now), which I never had before. Although I had a sensitive liver for a few years now, I wasn't doing anything I haven't done before (in terms of food and alcohol intake, etc) prior to these symptoms. How can I suppress this inflammation?

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Though you are sure that the pain is related to liver and pancreas. Yet I would like to inform you that usually the pain of both these organs involve different quadrants. Liver pain feel like a stabbing sensation that takes your breath away and may radiate to the back or in their right shoulder blade and usually involves right upper quadrant.
On the other hand the main symptom of pancreatitis is pain felt in the upper left side or middle of the abdomen.

However as you are sure i think you already had an ultrasound or CT abdomen report with you.
You can take Tylenol thrice daily with Tramadol 50 mg once or twice daily. Tramadol is very safe in liver patients and is good for visceral pain.
Avoid NSAIDs like Diclofenac etc.

Feel free to follow up.
Regards!
