Question : Bilirubin Total is 6.9mg/dl and Bilirubin Direct is 3.8 as of today. I was diagnosed with Jaundice last thursday and I've started ayurvedic medicine immediately. I was also consulting a General physician who has recommended Sylibon. I've noticed gradual dilution of yellow color in the urine and the stools gained slight color since today. Since Yesterday, there has been itchyness leading to rashes all over my body. Please advise.
