Jaundice from gallstones usually subsides in 3 to 7 days if it is caused by inflammation, and takes about 2 weeks to subside if it is obstructive. Jaundice may occur when gallstones are secondary to a biliary tract infection or when the stones block the bile duct. If the jaundice is caused by inflammation, the jaundice indicator will return to normal in about 3 to 7 days after the inflammation subsides. If the jaundice is caused by obstruction due to gallstones, the high jaundice level may cause some liver damage, resulting in a decrease in the speed of recovery of jaundice, which usually takes about 2 weeks to subside. When the phenomenon of jaundice of gallstones occurs, patients need to pay attention to a light diet, and promptly go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause of the disease, and standardized treatment under the advice of the doctor.
