Q I am a 22 years old boy suffering from jaundice for the last 6 days. I am taking complete rest. My diet includes oranges, apples, sugarcane juices, tender coconut, barley water, rice, skimmed milk and buttermilk. How long will it take to switch over to a high protein diet? When can i start my training for football? Please advice.
Do you have any other illness as jaundice is only a symptom resulted due to poor liver function and not the diagnosis. There can be many causes of the jaundice like viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, medication induced hepatitis, gallstone, malaria, haemolytic liver disease etc. Treatment depends on causes of the jaundice. Light diet, fat free diet is recommended at least for 1 month depending on recovery and prognosis of the complain.
