Suggest Treatment For Jaundice

I am diagnosed with jaundice by my doctor. It all started with high fever (104°F) then doctor called for first blood test and urine test which turned out to be normal and after medication the fever was gone , meanwhile I had breathing difficulty which was treated (a chest x-ray was done , all normal) , then after 2 days a blood test was done again and I had billirubin (5.47) . I was told I had jaundice . medications are given and meanwhile an ultrasound was done which says : Mildly diffusely hyperechoic liver echotexture with diffusely thickened , oedematous walled of gall bladder and peri-portal cuffing suggestive of hepatitis . after 2 days i have pain in right part of abdomen . I wanted to know my doctor is giving me 2 liver tonics (Livfit & valueLiv) and 2 capsules (Essentiate-L & Pantocar-D) ,are the medications correct ? Because he is not an gastroentrologist . And how much days would take for my recovery? What food I should avoid or take ? And cautions etc ? And what does pain signify? Please help Ps : i used to have white coloured facies but now it is perfect and naturally coloured and the urine is reddish brown in colour. I have occasionally occasional coughing also.

Get blood test for L F T (Liver Function Test) every 7 to 10 days .
It takes 2to 3 weeks to recover
Increased hunger indicate improvement.
