You have not: indicated which side was your discomfort but I assume it was the right. This could represent significant liver issues. It would be best to see your health care provider for some blood work and an examination.

Hard to know: Which side of your rib cage, left or right (ie near liver). Doubt fatty liver is cause of your pain. Sounds like issue resolved. If pain returns contact us again and/or see your doctor.

Mgt: The diagnosis of fatty liver indicates that you should have regular follow up, including lab testing to assess liver function. Since the pain has resolved, this may be unrelated.
