How Many Days Does It Take To Totally Cure Jaundice?

how many days does it take to totally cure jaundice? My daughter who is 14 years old now was given ayurvedic medicine 1 week back and was said that she was suffering from jaundice just by symptoms. But after she took medicine for some 4-5 days we took her for testing blood.The reports showed that her bilirubin levels are totally normal. Even the alopathy doctor said that she is normal. So I'm confused that she has to continue diet or not. Is it possible to be cured from jaundice in just 4-5 days or what?

Hi thanks for asking question.

The cure depend on cause of jaundice
Your child might have hepatitis A or E.
If care taken and there is mild degree hepatitis then within week cure can occur.

So just now for few days continue with low fat diet and fruits more with precaution you are taking.

After week she can resume full diet.

The jaundice can be because of mild hemolysis as in thalasemia or sickle cell then bilirubin can be normal within few days.

Take care.

I hope your concern solved.....
