Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your child is having conjugated hyperbilirubenima. Following can be the causes:

- Viral hepatitis
- Drug induced
- Dubin Johnson and rotor syndrome like congenital syndrome
- Biliary atresia
- Stone in bile canaliculi
- Parasitic bile canaliculi infection etc

Abdominal USG scan is done first for that. If needed CT scan or MRCP like higher investigation is done (if needed). If needed udiliv can be prescribed. According to cause, specific treatment can be planned. Consult a gastroenterologist for examination and accordingly do the work up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
