Brief Answer:
More details needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, I need to know the reason for which you needed to get the blood test done. I mean to ask about the specific symptoms that made you seek medical assistance. Also mention if you are an alcoholic and whether you are having itchiness over your body.

Infective hepatitis or alcoholic liver disease could cause a rise in the bilirubin level. On the other hand the eosinophilia could be due to some allergic cause including worm infestation. I can comment further after you provide relevant details.

I would wait for your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
Wait and watch.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your clarification. I have checked the attached reports. It is not a good idea to take antibiotics indefinitely like that and I am unable to understand what good it could do. However, it is definitely an added load on the liver and that could have caused the change. I would insist you to wait and watch. Repeat the tests after 3-4 weeks if things remain fine in the meantime. If it comes down you have no reason to worry.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. You can take sorbiline but taking a carbohydrate rich diet will do just the same. Indirect bilirubin correlates with unconjugated bilirubin levels. Bilirubin gets conjugated in an attempt toward excretion. Increase in conjugated levels indicate obstructive cause. Increase in unconjugated or indirect section suggests problem prior to that i.e. in the liver.

You can go for the tests suggested.

Somehow I find the degrees of this doctor fishy. CCH or certificate in child health is a credential for ayurvedic or homeopathic doctors (BAMS or BHMS). The mentioned the MRSH is just a paid membership that is supposed to have become MRSPH after the merger of the organisations. The medical registry check for the registration number reveals a different doctor http://www.mciindia.org/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=196292
Cannot check the same for Madhya Pradesh Medical Council at http://www.mciindia.org/InformationDesk/IndianMedicalRegister.aspx as the full name has not been given. Besides why would a doctor need to become authorized medical attendant? You might like to seek to verify his qualification and inform the CID/police if you find something out of place.
