Hi, My Son is three years old and diagnosed jaundice last Sunday 15th Sept ,we have given ample rest and put on diet from start. His Total Bilurbin count was about 4 at that time.After few days of diet and rest he feels good. He is now active but his urine colour is still pale yellow from dark yellow. Does normal urine takes its time or should we have to take some treatment.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor thanks for the query. Urine color is darker several days after bilirubin levels stabilize so you don't have to be worried. Wait for at least 5-7 days and then repeat LFT to see is there improvement or not. Most causes of jaundice in his age is benign, and usually it is some congenital liver enzyme defect or systemic infection. He should continue with hepatic diet and rest for 2 more weeks. Wish you good health. Regards
