Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Jaundice in a 4-year-old child is usually viral.
- My advice would be to feed her every once or twice hourly despite her desire to vomit as nutrition is the only key to faster recovery.
- Give her whatever she likes to eat after proper hygienic measure.
- Contact immediately to the hospital if she is refusing her feeds or if she becomes unconscious or if she talks incoherently.
- I suggest Ursodeoxycholic Acid syrup one teaspoonful twice a day can be given. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent.
Regards.
