Liver Abscess
My mother has liver abscess, which was treated by the medicine mainly metrogyl for 20 days. One week given intra venous and about 10 days orally. Treatment was given by MD (medicine) for one week and subsequently we switched to gastroenterologist, who further treated with metrogyl, Rekool and other vitamins for 10 days. After this course, ultrasound was done and it still established liver abscess. That gastroenterologist is advising that everything is okay nothing more to do with this. He has stopped metrogyl and giving few supplements and vitamins alongwith Rekool for gas. We are worried as the latest usg is still showing abscess (report is attached) but He advised that there is no need of draining and no need of further medication and is continously telling that only take care of diet all other things are fine. Please advise suitably.

Yes. Seen the USG report. If yohr mother is better now and not having fever/vomiting/abdominal pain then you dont have to worry. The medicinal treatment which is given is proper. It kills the causative organsims responsible for the abscess formation but it takes a long time for the liver tissue to come bac to normal. So if she is asymptomatic now then dont worry. Please follow the gastroenterologist opinion.  But if she still has fever and other symptoms then you must consider draining the abscess
