Your brother needs to be seen by a doctor ASAP. If he has jaundice and ascites, he needs to be treated. If his doctor cannot see him quickly, he should go to the nearest ER so he can get the treatment he needs. Good luck to both of you!

It sounds as though your brother has acute hepatitis B, with ascites and jaundice. He is very ill from this, and needs attention from a liver specialist immediately. See his primary doctor or take him to an emergency room right away. Good luck.
