Question
Hello doctor,
My father is being treated for a stomach ulcer. Dad took a lot of medicine according to the hospital's prescription but couldn't get better but became thinner and thinner, weighed 40kg, couldn't eat, had jaundice. There is a problem with the liver and it may be due to drug poisoning. So the doctor asked me to ask if my skin is yellow due to taking a lot of drugs to treat stomach ulcers, what to do? Thank you doctor.

Hi friends,
With the question “Jaundice due to taking many drugs to treat stomach ulcers, what to do? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to be examined carefully to find out why the ulcer does not respond to treatment, whether there is stomach cancer, whether the liver is poisoned by the drug or have liver disease. If the doctor knows exactly the actual condition, the doctor will give the most accurate advice and treatment.
If you still have questions about jaundice, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
