Can Liver Be The Reason For Swollen Throat And Yellow Dots In Eyes ?
why is my throat swollen and why the yellow dots in eyes? hi, i am being treated because of my throat being so swollen and i have history of gerd . my esophigal was swollen to and they put me on cipro everyday, but i have just noticed that recently i am getting yellow spots in my eyes. they are on both sides of the black part and the middle looks a bit yellow. what could be causing this? does it have something to do with my liver? i know i had an abnormal liver count once before when i had a blood draw.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
Rather than speculating I would suggest you to get an ophthalmologist's consultation, there is no relation between the throat and the eye. Yellow spots could be due to nutritional deficiency.

1. You will need an anti reflux medication. There may also be a transient throat infection causing the swelling. Ciprofloxacin is not the ideal antibiotic for a throat infection.
2. Yellow spots in your eye may be a sign of :
a) Liver disorders. Repeat your liver function tests.
b) Irritation or dryness of the eye. What is your occupation?
c) Lipid disorders
d) Rarely due to long term ciprofloxacin use.
3. E-mail a photo of your eyes to doctor@healthcaremagic.com with 'Attn: Dr. Sumit Bhatti' as the subject line. Alternatively get an ophthalmologist's opinion.
4. If the entire sclera is yellow, rule out jaundice.
