Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
First of all , you need to find out the cause of his Chronic liver disease. Most common are :
1. Alcoholic liver disease
2. Chronic Viral Hepatitis.
His asctitic fluid needs to be tested.
The swelling usually develops due to reduce albumin levels(protein).
Give him high protein diet like egg white , pulses.
Make sure he is never constipated.
If you ever find him drowsy , then don't give him high protein diet , get him to a hospital.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
Stay Healthy.
