Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

I read the message.As your father is known alcoholic since 3 years,you need to do
certain tests to make sure every thing is fine.
1.Get CBC,LFT and ultrasound abdomen.(To rule out liver disease)
2.Get Vitamin B12.(Alcoholics will have vitamin B12 deficiency)

Remedies-

Ask him to drink plenty of fluids daily atleast 4-5litres per day.
Avoid Non-veg,Junk food,High fatty diet,Carbonated drinks,Alcohol.
Give him Vitamin B12 supplements daily 1 tab.
Give him boiled vegetables,fruits especially kiwi,papaya.

Get back if any query.

Regards,
Dr VSK
