Tyhpoid followed by jaundice

Question

Asked for Female, 52 Years

My mom got diagnosed with typhoid and after a week of taking taxim, the antibiotic prescribed to her, she developed jaundice. Her liver enzymes were elevated and conjugated bilirubin was above the normal range. She recently got blood tests done again - the liver enzymes have started getting back to normal but conjugated bilirubin is still high. She also complains of abdominal pain at times. Nothing came out in ultrasound. What should be the next steps?
