Yellow skin and eyes is a classic sign of jaundice, which is a symptom of several different, possibly serious conditions affecting the liver. I do not know if swollen feet is a symptom of jaundice also. However, swollen feet can be symptomatic of other conditions as well. Make sure that she gets to a doctor for a diagnosis. Good luck. I hope this helps!

Her liver. Yellowing of the skin and eyes is called jaundice. It happens when the liver is ill. She needs to see a doctor ASAP!!

It sounds like something with her liver (that would cause the yellowing, AKA jaundice). The swelling could be because her body is having problems processing fluids so it diverts it to other places. She needs to go to the doctor and have blood drawn. She need lfts, cbc, cholesterol levels, renal profile, wbc, etc. This could be a sign of something very serious.

Well, I think she needs to see a doctor. She sounds jaundiced. A doctor is going to know what to do about what is going on here. Don't wait. The problem could get a lot worse and more difficult to deal with.

like the others said, this comes from a liver problem. She needs to have blood work done immediately so that her doctor can get this under control. It can be very serious if not treated.
