Hello. I am Dr. Praveen and I will be answering your question today.

He has hepatitis. Most likely an obstructive type of jaundice. Please wait for the CT reports to come in. If the etiology of hepatitis is infectious, particularly Hep A he will be fine in ten days. If its obstructive then the cause of obstruction needs to be found out and sorted out. Don't worry. I am sure the doctors are on it and are trying to help him out. Once the cause of hepatitis is ascertained he will receive apt care and he will well be on his way to recovery.

Wishing him good health. Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be.
Take care. Warm regards,
Dr Praveen Jeyapathy
