Brief Answer:
ultrasound scan as well as prothrombin time neede4d.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for the query
Looks like he has severe hepatitis. We need to keep a strict watch on liver function tests every three to five days. In addition need to do test like prothrombin time every three days. Also getting an ultrasonography is equally important and if suggest some specific abnormalities may need additional tests like an CT scan or MRCP if deemed necessary.
He needs to be on strict bed rest. No dietary restrictions are needed let him take normal diet as he likes. Avoid medications over the counter or alternative treatment.
If liver function show deterioration an extreme treatment option if liver failure develops is liver transplant.
Hope this answers your query
Wish him a speedy recovery
