Abdominal pain in jaundice
Hi,
My mother has jaundice and it has been 14 days since then.
However she has been complaining of abdominal discomfort at night. She feels vomitish but cannot vomit anything. Her appetite is low but she has regained her energy. She doesn't like the taste of many foods.
Currently she is taking Ayurvedic medicine LEVIT. She feels better after taking Pantoprazole.
What should be done?
Is ultrasound needed? Should she continue taking Pantoprazole?
There is Jaundice definitely
Don't take medicines without any testing
USG abdomen is required on urgent basis
Possibities after checking your reports -
1. CBD stones
2. Malignant obstruction
Go and consult a Gastroenterologist in person
Not on phone .
Kindly don't delay and visit best Gastroenterologist in your town .

Hello
I have checked her LFT report.
There is certainly a Jaundice.
Its important to find out the reason for Jaundice..I doubt if Ayurvedic medicine will work for it or not.
Kindly can discuss her problem in detail during consultation.
Best wishes
