I would wonder why he is itchy? As this disease itching is caused from increased bile salts. When this happens you can use Benadryl temporarily to help relieve the itch, jaundiced kids with itching are put on a medicine called rifampin that helps.

Hello, itching is a very common problem in children with liver disease and it is very difficult for the child and parent. There are some medications which can help with this, please talk to your child's doctors about options where you are. Warmest regards, Kate
