Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history.
Alcohol is the most common factor to cause liver insult. So in case of jaundice, you must avoid alcohol strictly.
If you can not stop taking alcohol, take help of psychiatrist or deaddiction center.
Your doctor may advise you to go for 12 step program to stop alcohol.
Thanks.
