Hi & Welcome to HCM.
Incomplete data like the lab tests, the cause of jaundice (hepatitis A, B, C, or E)???
I appreciate your concern for your beloved father.
Assuming that he is suffering from Hepatitis Virus type A or E infection (confirmed by serological tests), I would suggest the following:
1. Complete bed rest till the liver function test come to normal
2. High carbohydrate diet comprising of rice or daal soup at least twice daily.
3. Clean and boiled water for drinking (at least 2 litres /day).Ensure that a good volume of urine is passed per day.
4. To eat only home cooked items. Avoid hotel cooked stuff strictly.
5. Avoid raw fruits as well.
6. Avoid fried or oily foods.
7. Proteins in moderation.
8. Multivitamin supplements.
9. Alcohol should be avoided.
10. Repeat liver function test every week to see for fall in bilirubin and liver enzyme levels. That would be a sign of recovery.
I hope this information helps in speedy recovery of your father.
