Yellowing of eyes
My son had someone tell him a few weeks ago that the whites of his eyes looked yellow. Not drastically but it’s somewhat noticeable again. He was slightly juanficed when he was born but he’s 19 now and is a totally healthy young man. Never had any health problems at all. Is this reason for concern? And what could be causing it? Thank you

Please get the serum bilirubin done. If it is raised,consult a physician. If normal then it could be due to muddy conjunctiva.
