When Can I Start Drinking Alcohol As Liver Is Swollen?
Hi I was diagnosed with mono 4 weeks ago. After being diagnosed I had several blood tests showing extremely high levels of enzymes( the doctor said over 400 in the count and average is around 100). So my liver was swollen and I'm now wondering when can I drink alcohol again

Hi thanks for asking question...
Just now rest your liver by taking very low fat diet ...
Alcohol and its metabolite aldehyde us toxic to hepatocytes....
So avoid use of alcohol until liver enzymes comes to normal....
After resolution alcohol can be taken but in less amount.Maximum safe limit 20 gm per day. ...According to my opinion alcohol should never taken as it has many side effects on body....
Take care.
