Is it okay to start drinking again after abstaining from alcohol for two months while monitoring liver fibrosis?

Patient's question:

Previously, I carefully checked for liver fibrosis and abstained from alcohol for two months, but I couldn't resist and have started drinking again. Now, I'm experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain, a dull ache in the right ribs, rough facial skin with red spots, occasional black stools, nausea, vomiting, and short-term anorexia during the day. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Please carefully check the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. In clinical diagnosis, this generally involves considering viral hepatitis or alcoholic hepatitis as the cause. For this condition, clinical diagnosis first requires abstinence from alcohol, as well as active treatment. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to soften the liver and resolve nodules, such as Tuwei Sini San. The daily treatment for liver disease patients primarily involves taking medication. Patients can use a variety of oral medications, combined with many vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
