Doctor: Hello,I am Dr. Shiv, as per the history you have told, your weakness is directly linked to your jaundice part, and breathing problem may or may not be associated with this.i will suggest you to continue treatment for jaundice as advised by your treating physician, and regarding breathing problem i will suggest you to undergo your chest examination by a physician and some tests if needed after physical examination.You should take plenty of liquids, fruit juices, and soft bland diet till your liver reports are back to normal.you can take glucose water also if you are not diabetic.Practice hygiene every time and use purified / boiled water. Hope this was helpful to you.Thanks
