Taking Medication For Liver Problem, Swollen Stomach, Cannot Eat Due To Fullness. What Should I Do?
hello my father is a liver patient . he s taking the prescribed medicines but his stomach is being swollen day by day. he can t eat anything since he finds his stomache full. i am really worried what should i do? i consulted doctor but he added few more medicines but they dont seem working. please help me.
I understand your concern and if these symptoms progress than it's possible that your father is accumulating fluid in his peritoneum, so called ascites. My advice is to visit your GP or your gastroeneterolgist and ask them to try to do tests to see if it is ascites or not and do ascites puncture procedure if it's needed.
I hope this asnwer was helpful to you.
