Jaundice usually suggest liver dysfunction. And to function liver properly, you need to rest liver metabolism. So follow these dietary advice for faster recovery in jaundice.
1. Avoid oily, fatty and spicy food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid junk food.
3. Drink plenty of glucose based watery drinks orally.
4. High protein diet like pulses is good.
5. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
6. Eat only freshly prepared food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
