According to history here it seems to be chronic liver disease with ascites formation. So excess fluid has to be drained if needed. Diuretic can be taken.... USG done .It might show Cirrhosis...
The ultimate treatment for Chronic liver disease is liver transplantation... And patient is young ...So consult surgeon for guidence regarding transplantation...
Meanwhile advise your son to take low fat diet. Low salt diet taken to prevent fluid accumulation... Refined food avoided.... Non veg , pizza, butter etc trans fat avoided. Fruits more. Grined spinach leaves and carrot juice taken daily....
If bleeding with vomitting occur immediately consult doc....
