A 64 year old friend I visited today has had a sinus infection for a month (she says) but has lost 20 lbs nearly and the whites of her eyes are noticeably yellow. She is taking Amoxicillin, but frankly, I am worried that this is more than she thinks! Any red flags with the yellow eyes and weight loss?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that your 64 years old friend is having sinus infection with yellow eyes. The presence of yellow eyes needs to be evaluated to rule out jaundice. Just see whether is skin particularly of the palms and soles is also yellow, if present it confirms jaundice. This needs to be evaluated to find out the underlying cause for jaundice and treatment accordingly.Hence, you need to consult your physician doctor for evaluation and treatment. Do write back to me for further questions. Hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you a good health and speedy recovery. Thank you for writing to us.
