Patient's question:
I went to the hospital today. The doctor said that I have mild fatty liver and first prescribed me to take disodium glycyrrhizinate for 20 days to see if my liver function improves. If it does, there won't be a need for antiviral medication. What are the restrictions when taking disodium glycyrrhizinate? Can I drink chrysanthemum tea, Panax notoginseng flower tea, or regular tea after taking it?Doctor's answer:
Your liver function transaminase is elevated. During the treatment period of taking disodium glycyrrhizinate capsules for liver protection and enzyme reduction, avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and tea. Maintain a light diet with less greasiness, and opt for light, easily digestible foods. Engage in adequate physical activity. Regularly recheck liver function, abdominal ultrasound, hepatitis B virus DNA quantification, and alpha-fetoprotein.Liver patients can, while understanding the principle of symptomatic treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge drink.
