Hi! My daughter (Age 5 yrs. weight 14 kg) is sufferring from jaundice with pain in stomach. she has been admitted to hospital since 3 days. Weakness is very high and could not able to sit even. Doctor recommended to provide fresh juice and fruits or glucose to improve oral intake parallelly multiple electrolytes and detrox is given through bottle but she herself not asking for any thing to eat and avoid eating and due to cough after giving anything she vomitte everything. pl. suggest how fast she can recover from this.
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor... Noted she has jaundice.... Cause should be ruled out first... As pain, anorexia and omitting present mostly it will be viral hepatitis infection... For that virus marker study done with liver enzymes' estimation....USG also done for cholestatsis.... If she cants eat anything then rules Tube intubation might be done to give liquid diet... Intravenous infusion of glucose given if not eating anything.... Give her semisolid diet with more fruit juice.... Excess fatty and fried food not given to rest liver.... Carrot juice, Mashed green leafy vegetables are useful.... Hepatitis recovers gradually ... Mostly it will take around one month for full recovery.... Udiliv can be given daily.... Take care..... Consult gastroenterologist with keeping this in mind.... Chat Doctor.
