Will Silymarin Suspension Help The Infant To Recover From Jaundice?
y son has been suffering from jaundice and the doctor prescribed Silymarin suspension. How does it help? My son was born before the date of delivery (around 8 months). Since then he has suffered from Typhoid, Malaria and Jaundice in a year. I couldn't find the correct solution for my son. Is there any insufficiency of immunity or something else? Kindly advise me as in my town there is no experienced child specialist.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Silymarin is a herbal product and is usually free of side effects. It might be good for liver. But no studies have been conducted in this.
I understand your concern. I have a few questions and will suggest few possibilities.
Questions:
1. What was the birth weight and what is the current weight
2. How is the attaining of developmental milestones
3. Is the stool oily and floats in the pan
4. Is there any colour change in the hair or skin
5. Is there any history of recurrent serious infections
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
