Will Taking Detox Cause Pain And Burning In Feet And Also Jaundice?

My fiance was drinking heavily for 6 months, has had diagnoses of hepatitis A and pancreatitis. She began self detox a week ago, and has been very successful at this, with no cravings, a return of appetite and feeling great. Then the bottoms of her feet began to hurt and burn, and has jaundice as well. She is 40, 5 8 , 200 lbs. She did not sleep for 6 days, but now is sleeping soundly and for 12 hours in the last 2 days. Do we need to be concerned with the jaundice or is it a natural reaction to the detox?

Hi,

Is there any signs of diarrhea or vomiting? Is there any signs of fever? I advise you to:
1. Do liver function test - LFT blood
2. Stop detox and drinks, outside foods
3. Consultation with your physician regarding jaundice and undergo treatment accordingly

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
