What Causes Yellowish Tint To Eyes After Having Amoxicillin?

Hello, so I have recently been taking the antibiotic amoxicillin and have also seen a yellowish tint to my eyes while taking the drug. I was wondering if the yellowness and antibiotic have any connection as I have read that it is a side effect.. What treatments would i undergo to cure this discoloration? And should I be deeply worried?

Hi,
Amoxicilin does not give this type of side effect.
If sclera is yellow then possibility of having jaundice should be ruled out.
Go for liver function tests for having any liver problem.
Avoid alcohol if you are consuming.
Ok and take care.
