Howell come to ChatDoctorIf this is hepatitis B infection then the symptom of jaundice could be due to this, second to rule out the other possibilities some investigation may be needed, like liver enzyme test, ultrasonography test, because this may be obstructive jaundice also, in short underlying cause of this is more important, take care, have a nice day.
