Hello,
The pain could be from the inflamed liver. You must omit antihistamine, and excess green tea consumption. Anything in excess will harm the body, and interfere with normal function of body. I would suggest you to take some over the counter antacid like Gaviscon for pain as needed. If the pain worsen you can visit an ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
