drug induced Hepatis

Hi
My Mom has just gotten out of the hospital for 6 days. She has drug induced hepatis from taking an antibiotic Augmentin. I would like suggestion on what I should feed her and what to avoid. Thank you,  Bernetta

Hi
All last week her blood pressure was sky high. On Fri. I picked her up to go to the Cardiologist. She was so yellow I couldn't belive it. She was totaly exausted and was also itching. When the doctor saw her he said I have to put you in the hospital. She was in there for 6 days. The MD and the Gastro doctor at the hospital decided that she had drug induced hepatitis from the Augmentin. She didn't test positive for Hep. A,B or C. Her yellow has faded a little. She is so tired she can barely move. Her blood pressure is a bit better and also her tempature. They have her on a drug to heal the liver called Actigal.
thanks for your reply,

I took Augmentin while doing treatment - I've never heard of it causing hepatitis. The chemicals that can cause hep are heavy duty, carcinogenic, solvents like carbon tetrachloride. Or so I've heard.
Who diagnosed hep and said it was the Augmentin?
