Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The main treatment of kernickterus is a high protein and calorie diet .
The pediatrician who diagnosed it will be the best person who knows the severity of disease and can give you useful instructions regarding food.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
