Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.
I appreciate your concern for your son's illness.
I have gone through the problems described in the question.
I am of the opinion that your son's present problem is due to alcohol induced liver disease with a possibility of suspected
fatty liver that is why the treating doctor has advised
ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and to know the extent of liver disease.
High cholesterol and stomach related issues are due to alcohol consumption.
Sporadic
boils (pyodermas) are due to decreased immunity also caused by alcohol resulting in recurrent infections.
The sporadic boils can be treated by appropriate course of antibiotics or surgical
drainage. But the main problem of liver disease due to alcohol has to be defined and managed.
He must stop taking alcohol immediately. The high cholesterol level should be decreased by using a safe medicine in presence of liver disease.
I hope your doubts have been clarified.
Kindly give your feed back after getting convinced.
Regards
