Hi,
Dear thanks for asking here.
Since the cause of jaundice is ruled out that is obstruction due to pancreas.So She might need some surgical intervention to treat and for this she needs to visit especialist .If there is some emergency like if she faints,or some other symptoms happen then she may need to go to the emergency hospital immediatly.Otherwise she may wait for especialist consultation.
Best regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
