2) There is  abdominal tenderness on Right upper quadrant           
    
3)Liver span normal 11 cm

MY THOUGHTS IN THIS CASE


Based on right upper quadrant pain,14day fever   and investigations THE anatomy of location of the problem confines to Liver.
Based on history of the patient there is underlying liver pathology and bacterial infestation causing liver abcess may be seen and it is confirmed by 
Ultrasound
