I am not taking alcohol, oils, spices, or outside food since 20th November. At that time, my platelets were around 46k. Now they are over 1 lakh. Suddenly, my total bilirubin increased to 5. I started a Joinex related diet with more liquids, vegetables, and fruits, and I am still on it, but it is not coming down. Today the report shows bilirubin 6.49. What could be the reason and what should I do?

Rising bilirubin despite diet control may indicate post viral hepatitis, liver inflammation, or Gilberts syndrome. Platelet improvement is a good sign, but persistent high bilirubin needs evaluation. Continue hydration, a soft diet, and avoid oily and outside food. Avoid unnecessary medications and alcohol. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) and Ultrasound Whole Abdomen to check liver condition and rule out complications. Share the report with your doctor for further management if levels remain high.
