What Causes Yellowish Discoloration Of The Sclera And Mild Right-sided Body Pain?
My 18 year old son is a senior in high school. He has had yellow in the whites of his eyes since middle school.It has gotten worse ove the past 4-7 months. He says about 2-3 weeks ago he started having mildright sided pain, and change in BM--a little darker and a little looser (more like piles). His father has Gilbert syndrome. He is worried it is something bad I plan on getting him in to an internal med or his PCP ( he has seen once). Do I need to get him in right away?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this jaundice. There is really no need for immediate review. Plan and take him in at your earliest convenience. Gilberts syndrome is a possibility but unlikely at this point.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
