Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your problem. I am sorry to say but liver cirrhosis is a irreversible condition. Only way to manage this condition is liver transplant. Liver transplant will give you better results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
