Doctor's answer:
The treatment of jaundice should be based on the underlying cause. Generally, jaundice caused by viral hepatitis is treated symptomatically, primarily focusing on treating the underlying diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis A, and hepatitis E. Once the hepatitis is treated effectively, the bilirubin levels will also decrease. If jaundice is caused by gallstones in the common bile duct, the stones can be removed through ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) or surgical methods, which will also lead to a decrease in bilirubin levels. Additionally, if jaundice is due to liver cancer, the liver cancer can be treated through surgery or interventional methods, and the bilirubin levels will subsequently decrease.
