What should be done about alcoholic hepatitis?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I have been an avid beer drinker for over 20 years. About one and a half months ago, jaundice reappeared, and my whole body turned yellow.

Doctor's answer:

For hepatitis patients, adopting a TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment approach can yield certain effects. In acute jaundice hepatitis with excess heat over dampness, it is advisable to clear heat and resolve dampness to alleviate jaundice. When dampness is predominant over heat, it is recommended to resolve dampness and clear heat, strengthen the spleen, and alleviate jaundice. For cases with cold-dampness obstructing the spleen, it is appropriate to warm yang, dispel cold, and strengthen the spleen to resolve dampness. In acute non-jaundice hepatitis with liver qi stagnation, the treatment principle should focus on soothing the liver, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and expelling toxins. For liver-gastric disharmony, it is advisable to soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach, supplemented with detoxifying herbal formulas. In chronic hepatitis with liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency, the treatment should involve soothing the liver, resolving stagnation, strengthening the spleen, and harmonizing the middle. For cases with qi stagnation and blood stasis, it is recommended to soothe the liver, regulate qi, promote blood circulation, and resolve stasis. In cases of liver-kidney yin deficiency, it is advisable to warm and nourish the liver and kidneys, enrich blood, and promote blood circulation using appropriate herbal formulas for rescue.
