What Causes Yellow Discoloration In The Eyes While On Amoxicillin?
Hello, I ve been taking Amoxicillin for 6 days now and I have 1 day remaining on it and I ve noticed my eyes have started to appear slightly yellow and I ve read a lot about this being a side effect of this antibiotic. I m wondering if this is something I should be really concerned about from liver damage or if it is temporary? Thank you!

Hi,
Yes, Amoxicillin can cause jaundice that is yellow discoloration of the eyes. It's mostly benign thing and reverses as you stop taking the drug. However, I would advise you should do your liver tests and inform your doctor as you may need to stop the drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
