Your mom needs to undergo a procedure called ERCP through which the stones will be removed. But if the stones are big enough, she may have to undergo surgery also

plz visit a good gastro enterologist as early as possible as the stones apart from causing jaundice may aldo cause pancreatitis ehich is a very bad complication
