Noted your father having cirrhosis and history of variceal bleed....
So he has chronic liver disease with portal vein hypertension... For exact grading biopsy needed.... But let me know you care has to be taken to avoid further complication...
If needed here beta blocker might prescribed for portal hypertension. Low salt diet taken.... High protein diet useful. TIPSS like invasive shunt procedure helpful in reducing portal hypertension.... If condition worsen ultimate treatment is liver transplantation...
Early in morning take grined spinach and carrot juice.... One tsp crushed papaiya seed with lemon juice helpful...
If behavioural abnormality , tremor , sleep disturbance and variceal bleed occur immediately directly consult gastroentetologist....
Take care.
