Liver inflamation can be from infections, obstruction in the normal flow of bile (such as gallstones), or from a metabolism problems. Your description doesn't strongly point in one direction as far as a source.

Reviewing these complaints with your pediatrician as well as perhaps having a consultation with a pediatric gastroenterologist (a special dealing with digestive and liver disorders in children) would be a suggested course of action.
