Jaundice and hepatitis A
My 5yrs child has hepatitis A which caused jaundice and increased liver enzymes. Now his jaundice has decreased from 7.5 to 4.5 and SGOT AND SGOT has decreased from value in thousands (around 3000) to 100.
His fever is fine and is eating well but today we did routine ultrasound which shows moderate right and minimal left pleural effusion. One doctor told to get him admit and other told it's normal, child will recover in a week.
We are so confused to admit her or not. Pls help what to do.
