Brief Answer:
CT scan with contrast

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You may have to get a better imaging study to know what is the problem with the liver. A CT scan with contrast will help in this regard.

Also, do ascertain whether the Viral Hepatitis is negative in both mother and child.

Consume bland diet with less fat and spice in it.

I have provided contacts of better Gastroentrologist in your location.
