Hello,

It may indicate jaundice. For further assessment you may require viral marker studies, ultrasound abdomen after physician consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. You can take tablet Liv 52. Take soft balanced diet. Avoid hot and spicy food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
