Obstructive jaundice can be treated with medications under a doctor's guidance, such as choleretic agents like ursodeoxycholic acid and tauroursodeoxycholic acid, which promote bile excretion. When inflammation is present, anti-inflammatory treatment with medications such as celecoxib or etoricoxib should be administered according to medical advice to control inflammation and relieve discomfort. In severe cases, surgical interventions such as endoscopic biliary drainage or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage may be recommended under medical guidance to alleviate symptoms.
