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

There are many different causes for jaundice including viral infections. The test report points more towards viral hepatitis only. But you have not mentioned about the tests done to see whether this jaundice is due to viral infections.
Acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis A is common in this age group especially if she is not vaccinated against it.
You need to consult her doctor for tests to find the cause of jaundice.
If it is due to hepatitis A it may take about 2 months for complete recovery.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards.
