A person with jaundice can have chemotherapy. Jaundice is a disease of a blockage within the liver and/or bile ducts. If there is cancer causing the blockage/jaundice, then chemotherapy may help shrink the tumor to relieve the blockage and relieve the jaundice. The oncologist will decide which type of chemo and which dose is the most appropriate.

Does jaundice spread if you touch the hand of person having disease?
True jaundice comes from the reddish-yellow bile salt, bilirubin. Unusually high concentrations of this compound in the body cause yellowing, or jaundice. Jaundice is typically diagnostic of liver failure. As such, jaundice itself does not spread by touch. However, if an infectious disease has attacked the liver and thus is the root cause of the jaundice, that infection may be transmissible by touch.

Jaundice is the condition in which the skin, the mucous membranes, and the eyes get slightly discoloured and appear yellow.

There is no known co-relation between smoking and jaundice but it is recommended that you do not smoke while you have or are recovering from jaundice for general health reasons. In fact, one of the symptoms of jaundice is distaste for smoking. Research has indicated that if an expectant mother is smoking, the chances of the child having jaundice are lowered. This seems to be the only benefit of smoking during a pregnancy. Because jaundice tends to weaken your system so much, it is essential that you get enough rest and allow your body to recover. You should also make sure that you are consuming a healthy and balanced diet. It is recommended that you should drink only fruits and liquids the first week of being afflicted with jaundice. You should avoid drinking any liquor for some time after you recover from jaundice. Stick to a light and high carbohydrate diet while you are recovering and avoid legumes and pulses that might cause or aggravate jaundice.

Jaundice is caused by a build up of bilirubin, that in itself is not thought to be painful but the underlying cause of the jaundice - biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, coagulopathy, renal and liver failure are all possible sources of pain and need to be further investigated. Obstructive jaundice, is caused by an interruption to the drainage of bile in the biliary system - this type of jaundice causes pain from an inflammation or blockage in a duct or organ. Jaundice and pain are symptoms of the underlying disease and needs to be treated as such.
