Brother In Law In Hosp.5 Weeks For Gall Bladder .

Brother in law in Hosp.5 weeks for gall bladder . His bellireubin level was 31 down to 16 @discharge time. He came home on Tuesday and he is very very yellow still. Not eating and has a cronic itch tha5 is driving him crazy. We tried every topical cream etc. Nothing works. He is taking prescribed prednisone 20 mg, loraxepam 0.5 mg colestyramine packet all for itching. And, over the counter benadryl .I'm worried today we are at 10 pills. I've hid them. How can I help him stop itching. Any secrets to getting the blood levels lower¿?
