Hi,
You are having Fatty liver suggests that there is liver damage.
This might be due to Alcoholism or some hepato-toxic medicine you might have used in the past.
Go for ultrasound at some time interval to know the condition of liver.
Avoid fat, reduce your body weight if you are obese.
Quit Alcohol if you have habit of taking.
Take any medicine after consulting your doctor.
Take B.complex and some liver protective medicines.
Ok and bye.
