I had a really bad infection, which caused a lot of swelling. So, the doctors gave me painkillers for the pain. I haven't taken any in 3 weeks because it has since cleared up. But, I don't want that medicine sitting around in my liver for a long period of time. Is there a simple way to "detox"?

Your liver is the organ that cleanses your body. It also cleanses itself. Those painkillers are gone 48-72 hours after you take the last one. There are absolutely none of those painkillers left in you, not even in your liver.
You may see ads for "liver cleansers," but, they are only good at relieving you of your money. Many of these things, including several herbals, will actually harm your liver (or kidneys, or other parts), so skip them. Water is your best bet.
Fasting slows down metabolism, it does not speed it up. Eat a healthy diet with lots of variety. The vitamins and nutrients naturally found in food will help all of your systems. Diets or supplements that contain a single "sure fire" thing (like a vitamin, or only one type of food), will deprive you of the rest of the nutrients, making your body less able to metabolize things and decrease your ability to fight infection.
Rejoice! At three weeks out, you are cleansed! (The liver is an icredible organ.)

bad advice folks. if there is liver disease, a fast will not help. infact, fasting makes you feel bad, so when your eating again, you feel better. it is a "false hope" kinda treatment.

the best thing for you to do is drink water. instead of coffee or tea or sodas, drink water.

your liver cleanses itself under normal circumstances. that is what it is made to do, filter toxins from the body.

Yup, you can cleanse your liver and blood by almost 97% by eating ONLY grapes for about 15 days.Preferably the green ones. Whatever happens, keep eating them and I'm NOT LYING.I've already tried this and the blood becomes as pure as a new-born baby's. That'll 'detox' it. If you wanna know anything more, send me a comment.
P.S:Also have loads of water.
