Jaundice is yellowing of the eyes and skin due to a build-up of bilirubin. Common causes in Nepal include hepatitis E and A (from contaminated water and monsoon), hepatitis B, alcohol liver disease, gallstones, and leptospirosis. Seek urgent care if you experience confusion, drowsiness, bleeding, jaundice during pregnancy, severe belly pain, or high fever. For self-care, rest, drink fluids, avoid alcohol, and don't take unnecessary medicines. Related conditions include hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis, and leptospirosis. Consult a qualified health worker for personalized advice.
