Diabetologist,  's  Response
Once the level of bilirubin comes down, hiccups will subside, however it is advisable to avoid large and spicy diet.treatment of jaundice is supportive like hydration by IV fluids, multi vitamins , liver protective(like ursodeoxycholic acid etc).
Duphalac is safe and can be given. Have faith in the treating Physician.
Get a USG abdomen done. if fever continues,IV antibiotics may be required in few cases. get a regular prothrombin time check. it take time for serum bilirubin to come to normal.PT will tell early regarding recovery. Best wishes
