hepatitis is the word no one has mentioned. you can get this from food that youve eaten if the preparer went to the bathroom and didnt wash his hands before fixing your food. you need to be checked and get a gammglobulin shot.
i have been vaccinated against type c but there are a,b,d,e,f and g types.

Jaundice is nothing to ignore. Could be something simply treated or a sign of something serious. You can't make this judgment, even with our help.

Make a doctor's appointment.

And answer his or her questions honestly. It will make a difference in how and how quickly you can find out what's wrong.
