Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

After liver abscess you should be very careful.
Try to avoid outside food,fatty diet,carbonated drinks,alcohol,red meat.

You can go for regular walking or yoga,don't go for heavy weight lifting.
Don't drink alcohol,because once any damage in liver it can't be reversible.
Abscess doesn't lead to any complications.
Drink plenty of fluids at least 4-5 litres per day,fruits especially kiwi,papaya.

Get back if any query.

Dr VSK
