Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your mother is suffering from liver cirrhosis...
So because of less protein production and by salt and water retention your mother having ascites...
For that low salt diet taken and if needed diuretic prescribed
Spleen also should be palpated as it is enlarged in portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis
Beta blocker drug useful for reducing portal pressure
Surgical procedure like TIPSS also useful...
Ultimate treatment is liver Transplantation in case of cirrhosis...
Daily take grined spinach and carrot juice
Take care
