Q I~m suffering from jaundice; i have seen my bilirubin test report which is 4.8. What should i eat? Otherwise i m taking full bed rest now a days but what is the other precaution which is more benefit for me.
The most important aspect of treatment is adequate rest, until the jaundice recovers completely. This does not mean complete bed rest. But just rest at home is adequate. The other important aspect is diet. The patient should have normal home cooked food. Fruits and vegetables are recommended. Lemon, grapes, pear, tomato, carrot, suagrcane can be used as juices. Fresh and hygenic juices of orange, aaple, pine aaple and mango and vegetables like spinach, fenugreek are useful. Kinldy avoid fats like butter, ghee, cream and oils.To prevent the spread of hepatitis or jaundice patient should just maintain good personal hygiene like washing of hands after going to the toilet. Vaccination of family members is also important.
