Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned age of your son.
Gilbert syndrome doesn't require any treatment.
However , even if required phenobarbitone is used for it's treatment.
Share his full liver function tests report and ultrasound report with us , so that we can comment further.
