Suggest Remedy For Severe Abdominal Pain

I recently had a severe reaction to codeine in which I ended up being taken into A&E as an emergency, my sister and daughter have all reacted in the same way with severe stomach pains radiating through to our back, my daughter had an ultrasound which showed that she had an inflamed pancreas, but her bloods were okay with no raised amylase. My bloods showed a raised ALT of a 100 which previously had been 20, could this have been due to the codeine or related to alcohol that I had over the weekend and if so how long will it take to go down and should I avoid alcohol until I have another blood test?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern from the history given here I could say that if there is history of drug sensitivity in your family then you should always be careful for this and if this is ever happened by mistake then stop the drinking alcohol because this could lengthen the effect of drugs may flair up the clinical symptoms, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
