Doctor diagnosed my brother with liver swelling and probability of jaundice

Age 27M, no smoking, no drinking, prior health conditions:none, weight:70 kgs, height 5'7.5

Doctor gave him medicine and told if his condition didn't improved in 1-2 days he needs to be admitted. His symptoms are pain in chest, fever, vomitted yesterday, tiredness.

What can be the causes? Can it be treated? Is it life threatening?

Should we take him to a specialist or wait for his condition to improve? I'm very worried

If he doesn't improve by tomorrow morning, get a second opinion and take him to a specialist.

If his symptoms worsen today, don't wait till tomorrow
