With yellow coloration of eye other symptoms like loss of appetite, yellow coloration of urine, nausea vomiting are to be observed.Blood test can be repeated. Palpation of liver is to be done. In all these test nothing positive is found, then ultrasound gall bladder is Tobe found to diagnose obstructive jaundice.
