I was terrified when my ultrasound showed liver inflammation (hepatomegaly). My doctor explained that with a simple low-fat diet, zero alcohol, and basic daily walking, the liver can regenerate and heal itself quite fast. You will be fine!
The liver is a super resilient organ, just eat clean home-cooked meals and avoid alcohol entirely to let it heal.
When my liver was inflamed due to a viral infection, my doctor put me on a strict no-oil diet with boiled vegetables and simple khichdi for three weeks. Giving complete rest to my digestive system really helped me recover.

When I was treated for liver swelling, my specialist at Max Hospital strictly warned me against taking unverified herbal powders as they can damage the liver further. Get a proper prescription and follow up with a certified doctor.
