Comment from: Bluebottle, 65-74 Male (Patient)

My jaundice came as a result of a reaction to an antibiotic. After five weeks, my skin has stopped itching. I still have a terrible taste in my mouth from time to time; this is masked by eating mint sweets or eating apples. I feel tired in the mornings but improve during the day. Apparently, I have another five weeks to go before I am cured. Published: October 06 ::

I am taking lots of liquids like juices, water mixed with glucose. Sugar cane juice is said to be beneficial as well. Avoid oily and deep fried stuff, as well as spices. Published: May 27 ::
