Abnormalities in the work of the liver are often associated with improper diet and, less often, with genetic or congenital diseases. Pain in the liver is a signal that it is inflamed. Medicines and diet will help relieve discomfort.
Start your liver treatment by imposing certain dietary restrictions. Stop eating low-quality and fatty foods. The ban includes smoked meats, pickled vegetables and fruits, fatty meats, and alcohol. And if possible, quit smoking. Eat boiled vegetables, lean meats, and fish. Do not add butter to porridge. Gradually, you will notice that the liver began to bother you much less often.
Drink a glass of mineral water with a high alkali content in the morning. Look, the label should say that the mineral water is intended for the treatment of liver diseases. Yessentuki, Borjomi or Karachinskaya are quite helpful. But do not get too carried away, as due to the high content of mineral salts, kidney stones can form.
If liver pain is severe, take a couple of drotoverin tablets. The drug has an antispasmodic and choleretic effect. Drotaverine should not be taken by people with low blood pressure. In this case, "Allohol" is better suited, although it does not have an analgesic effect.
Take milk thistle 4 times a day. Milk thistle belongs to hepatoprotectors, cleanses the liver, removes bile and helps to restore damaged cells. The course of treatment should be from 1 to 3 months. Instead of milk thistle, "Karsil" is suitable, it contains the same medicinal plant. There are also more expensive medicines for the liver on sale, for example, Essentiale. If you cannot decide on your own what exactly is right for you, then it is better to consult your doctor.
When drugs to normalize liver function do not help, you should go to the hospital and get tested. It is possible that you have gallstone disease or other disorders. Do not fully hope that self-medication will help you in this case.
