Swollen stomach due to liver cirrhosis

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

My mother, aged 60 is suffering from severe liver cirrhosis. She has been taking medicine under doctor's consultation. Very often her stomach swells and gets filled with water. We got the accumulated water removed 2 months back and now again she is uncomfortable with swollen stomach. We also got protein injected in her body as her protein is also low. But her main problem now is swollen stomach which is not allowing her to have a normal life. What shall we do?
