If I had liver pain from an enlarged liver or high LFTs or an enlarged spleen, would the pain be constant? Would it feel like a pulled muscle when I move a certain way? Would it be in my upper right stomach or side and back area? When I move a certain way or bend, I feel a pain in my flank area. No fever. It lasts for about 10 seconds.

Friends visiting from France have tested positive for COVID-19. They are 74 and 68 years old and have some heart issues. They are experiencing a cough but no shortness of breath or fever.
