Hi, I yesterday (on 25/7/11) got blood test done at private lab for my 8 yrs old daughter.  I was suspecting something like jaundice since my daughter lost her appetite from past one week.  The Serum Bilirubin level is 7.5 against normal value of 0.2 -1.20 and SGPT level is at 1540 against normal value of 40.  When I closely watched, her eyes are having yellow shade and of course urine also show yellow color.    During last week she also had fevel lasted for 3 days treated with Amoxycilling, Paracetamol, Nimesulide syrup.  Pls further guide me How serious the problem is what I am suppose to do and what not?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your child having jaundice.... Mostly According to history he has viral hepatitis .... As child patient mostly it will be by hepatitis A virus.... So viral marker study done by ELISA to look for cause ..... Here your child have to take low fat diet.... Give him more fruits.... Green leafy vegetables taken more.... Trans fat diet like pizza, junk food, meat less..... Fried food less. Less oil in cooking.... Give him one tsp cumin seed with water daily. Papaiya, mango, apple like fruits more... Sugar cane juice useful..... Avoid nimesulide like Chat Doctor. .Don't use nimesulide.... Take care.... It will take around month for your child to recover....
