I am a patient with liver cirrhosis and severe splenomegaly. Originally, I planned to undergo portal vein hepatic segment stent intervention at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. After traveling here specifically to consult you, I began taking herbal medicine. Now, my abdominal discomfort has slightly eased, but I am experiencing generalized itching, especially in my hands and feet. The skin in the affected areas shows no visible or tactile changes. I have now finished the herbal course—should I continue taking the medication?

Answer: It appears that you are allergic to a certain component of the medication. You are welcome to return for a follow-up visit. During your next treatment, the prescription will include both ingredients that address decompensated liver cirrhosis and those that alleviate allergies, which should enhance the therapeutic effect.
