Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this increased levels of bilirubin that your child has. Gardenal would increase the conversion of bilirubin to forms that can easily be excreted fro the body. This would be helpful. However, I believe phototherapy would be a better and a more rapid solution to this.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
