Brief Answer:
Normal diet and bilirubin will also start decreasing with time
Detailed Answer:
Welccome back. This is what I have mentioned earlier that as liver enzymes have started decreasing, bilirubin will also start decreasing in few days. There is nothing to panic, it will take time but will resolve. Diet restriction is never recommended in patients with acute viral hepatitis, one should take normal diet as he was taking before the illness and this I found very useful in my patients too. So eat whatever you like but it should be hygienic and healthy. It is against the policy of HCM to provide number so please forgive me. I am sorry for that. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
