Can Jaundice Medicine Cause Brain Damage?
My relative is 34 years old and she is undergoing treatment for jaundice since the past 10 days, it was observed today that she was behaving uncharacteristically,on reaching the hospital the doctor has admitted her in the ICU. I would like to know if the medication has had side effects on her, also is there a possibility of brain damage

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns....
What are medicines he has been using for jaundice? Is there any comorbidity associated??
In my opinion he hasn't got this problem due to drugs. It is most probably due to other pathology.. It is better for him that he has got admitted in ICU so that proper workup would be done to reach the final diagnosis..
Medicine used for jaundice doesn't cause brain damage in ten days.
Continue with your treatment..
May he get well soon
