Do not concern. First of all understand some facts.

An occurrence of jaundice during pregnancy is rare,
but may be potentially harmful to the mother and the fetus.
It is imperative to consult your gynecologist and seek immediate treatment.

Treatment depends on the cause of the underlying condition leading to jaundice and any potential complications related to it.
Once a diagnosis is made, treatment can then be directed to address that particular condition, and it may or may not require hospitalization.

Treatment may consist of :
Medical treatment with intravenous fluids, medications, antibiotics, or blood transfusions may be required.
Surgical treatment may be required in some case e.g. obstructive jaundice.

Here are some advice for you:
Maintain adequate hydration by drinking fluids, and rest as needed.
Take medications only as instructed and prescribed by your doctor.
Avoid medications, herbs, or supplements which may cause detrimental side effects.

Follow this advice and go accordingly as suggested by your doctor.

All the best. Take care.
