Hello
It seems from the history that your 10 year old daughter is having yellow discoloration of the eyes.
The yellow eyes appears in jaundice caused by hepatitis.
Hence your doctor is correct in asking for bilirubin estimation to look for hepatitis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examinations and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
