Yellow eyes

[Intensiviridae]

Hello everyone. I'm 22 year old and today my mom looked at my eyes, she noticed that they were looking yellow, but are they really looking yellow or it's just our perception? I have a little bit of fever (99.14) that started today, diarrhea that started almost two weeks ago and I got a real bad sore throat the last night (that only lasted a few hours) but no more symptoms at all. Immediately we thought of HAV since I eat a lot of street food/restaurants because of my reduced time.

Sorry for my grammar (I speak spanish), hope everyone's doing well, thank you for taking your time reading this.

Hello, it is actually against forum rules to post photographs for comment. They reproduce badly on screen plus none of us are qualified to offer comment.

If you or your mum have concerns about your eyes or potential issues then you should go and see your doctor for some basic tests. Yellowing of the eyes is due to a build up of bilirubin in the blood so a simple blood test will rule it in or out.

Its not always easy to pick up colour changes in eyes and also the colour of the blood vessels against the white sclera can give a yellowish look. I think forum rules advise not to post such pics too.

I think in your case, given your other symptoms its probably wise to err on the side of caution and get checked out with your gp or family practitioner. I couldn't tell if your eyes look yellow or not, but in this case it doesn't really matter as you have other symptoms.

This is what jaudince looks like. It's dark yellow. Billurubin looks like it has some kind of gooey substance in it, very noticeable.Take some tests though Im not a doctor.

Also I suggest to not worry until a doctor checks you out. Worry after. Why worry and die? Just die, right? Just joking. Have fun.

Heres another photo. I don't think you have it. Jaudince looks like it stains the eye. It's on the edge of your whites. Your eye doesn't look like this.
