I have a lot of pain in my stomach on my left side. How can I reduce my pain?

Question

Hello, since yesterday, I have a very bad pain on the left side of my stomach. I drank a lot of alcohol on Friday but I usually don't drink much. I had a large amount of alcohol on Friday (2 days ago). Since then, I have had pain on the left side of my stomach, in the middle. I don't drink alcohol often and I don't have pain in my. I don't often drink alcohol and I don't often have pain in my belly either. The pain is tolerable but still pronounced. I did not vomit. I go to the bathroom normally.

Is there a possibility that it was only the alcohol that was irritating for you, an indigestion or intoxication? I invite you for the next few days to favor light foods such as soups, broths, toast, eggs, brown rice, and to avoid very fatty or very sweet foods such as red meat and undiluted fruit juice. Start with small amounts and gradually increase. Be sure to stay hydrated, taking 1 sip of fluid every 3 to 5 minutes (do not drink too quickly as this can also trigger nausea). If the situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement, you should consult a doctor as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful and I'm available if you have any other questions!
