If you have jaundice, your body is afraid of heat or cold

There are no clear data and studies that show that jaundice is sensitive to heat or cold, and usually jaundice itself does not affect changes in body temperature. However, if the patient has other infectious diseases, it may cause fever and signs of cold intolerance.

Jaundice is a clinical manifestation of hyperbilirubinemia and is divided into two categories: physiological and pathological, with the former being common in neonates. As long as jaundice occurs in adults, it is usually pathological, and most of them are related to hepatobiliary diseases, such as gallstones, viral hepatitis,cirrhosis, malignant tumors, etc.This sign is associated with the accumulation of large amounts of bilirubin that causes yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, and it does not affect body temperature and usually does not cause damage to the central system, so in most cases, patients do not have symptoms such as heat or cold intolerance.

However, if jaundice is combined with other acute inflammation, infectious diseases or cachexia (such as respiratory tract infection, acute cholecystitis, acute pancreatitis, terminal stage of malignant tumor, etc.), fever signs have been caused, and affected by fever and central nervous system dysfunction, patients may have symptoms of cold intolerance and chills in the early stage. As the disease progresses and the hyperthermia phase progresses, there may be signs of heat intolerance.

It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the signs of jaundice (such as yellow skin staining, scleral yellow staining, and yellow urine color) are found, and the specific cause and severity of the disease are clarified, and the appropriate treatment plan is selected for the symptoms. During the treatment, patients need to strengthen personal life care, such as quitting smoking and drinking, avoiding drug abuse, drinking plenty of warm water to promote metabolism, and eating light and digestible food.
