I'm really worried about my dad, he's 54 and has been dealing with a fatty liver and jaundice for about a month now. I noticed that his SGOT level is 65. Do you think he can safely take Ecosprin tablets with these conditions? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for him.

Your father should not take Ecosprin tablet as it can worsen his liver condition. Instead, he can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 300mg to help improve his liver function and reduce the symptoms of jaundice. Additionally, he can take Vitamin E supplements to support his liver health. It is important for him to follow up with his doctor regularly for monitoring and management of his fatty liver disease.

The persistent swelling around your belly button, accompanied by bloating, gas issues, and discomfort after meals, may indicate a possible umbilical hernia, intestinal obstruction, or gastrointestinal issue such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consult a general surgeon or gastroenterologist for a thorough examination

I'm dealing with a fatty liver and it's around 14 cm in size. My height is 5 feet 7 inches and I weigh about 79 kgs, which is close to 40 pounds. I'm really looking to know what other steps I can take besides taking medicine to improve my condition. What can I do?
To help manage a fatty liver, in addition to medication, lifestyle changes are crucial. You should focus on maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Avoid foods high in saturated fats, sugars, and refined carbohydrates. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular physical activity, such as aerobic exercise and strength training, can also be beneficial in reducing liver fat. Additionally, limiting alcohol consumption and managing any underlying conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol can help improve liver health. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your condition.
