Hi,
The yellow discolouration in your eyes and palate are an indication of what is known as jaundice. This is a result of a pigment, bilirubin, being deposited under your skin.
There are multiple reasons for jaundice to appear and I suggest that you get in touch with your doctor to see you as soon as possible, as it may be potentially a serious condition arising. Your liver also needs to be assessed as it is responsible for handling the bilirubin pigment.
I hope this helps a little bit!
