Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concerns.

It will take 2 to 3 months for the clinical cure ie is elimination of yellownews of eyes.

And it may take 10 to 12 months for the liver enzymes may become normal.

This is not a major worry.

This is a natural course of viral hepatitis in children.

Not a major concern. Good to initiate Hepamerz

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concerns.

This is not a major issue to worry.

S. bilirubin 11 mg % is not a bigger value as perceived.

But nevertheless, it is important to start Hepamerz after consulting your physicain.

It is a good sign that SGPT and SGOT have dropped down.
