Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Liver is surrounded by capsule. So when liver enlarges (hepatomegaly) it stretches the capsule and this cause pain in abdomen.
Treatment for this is
1. Avoid all hepatotoxic drugs like painkillers, antipyretics, anti inflammatory etc. Commonly used drugs are paracetamol, ibuprofen, diclofenac etc. You should avoid such drugs.
2. High protein diet is good for quick recovery. More sugar orally is also advisable.
3. Avoid oily, spicy and fatty food.
Don't worry, she will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
