Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Typhoid is due to bacterial infection. A course of antibiotic has to be taken for cure from typhoid.
Jaundice can occur due to multiple causes.
The pancreatic cancer your father has is one of the causes of jaundice. An ultrasound/CT/MRI scan and a complete liver function test may be done to see if the pancreatic cancer is causing jaundice.
The treatment depends on whether it is due to pancreatic cancer or some other cause.
You can consult a gastroenterologist and discuss all these.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would advise you to get the scan done first to see if there is any obstruction in the bile duct.
If yes, then a procedure called ERCP (special endoscopy procedure) may be done to relieve jaundice.
