Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query. From the details I understand that she has diabetes (whether controlled or not is not mentioned as no glucose levels are given or HbA1c% is mentioned), there is no mention of any infection so I am unable to find out why antibiotic has been prescribed. Similarly is there any acidity issue with her? Because Famotidine is prescribed. Unless these details are there I can not advise anything. However, if there is no infection then there is no need for antibiotic. Jaundice is not because of any infection. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
