It seems obstructive jaundice..
Meet a gastroenterologust for CBD stenting..
Then ct scan and biopsy for staging then surgery ir chemotherapy based in reports..
Since u have used native medicine underlying liver damage may be present which delays recivery period post stenting..
Consult a doc asap

This is called as obstructive jaundice. You must meet a Surgical Oncologist or GI surgeon at the earliest for further evaluation. Few would suggest endoscopy and stenting to relieve jaundice. Please do not do stenting as surgery would become very difficult.
