His doctor has suggested to drink lot of glucose (Glucon-D). Is it right?
Please suggest some good diets.

Answered by Dr. Anshul Varshney (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes, He should drink

Detailed Answer:
Glucon D contains glucose and body needs it in jaundice as our own liver is not able to synthesize it properly.
So, go ahead with Glucon D.
Avoid oily, spicy food and milk till his recovery.

He can take khichdi, Daliya, home prepared fruit and vegetable juices as much as he want.

Don't take sugarcane juice prepared outside.

I wish him a speedy recovery.
