Sometimes, our liver gets sick. The liver is like a helper in your body. It cleans your blood and helps you feel good. But when the liver stops working, your body gives little clues.
What Are Some Clues That the Liver Is Sick?
1. Feeling Very Tired
You might feel sleepy or tired even if you didn’t play or run around a lot.
2. Tummy Hurts or No Hunger
Your tummy might feel yucky. You might not want to eat your favorite foods.
3. Sore on the Right Side
Your side under your ribs might feel sore or puffy.
4. Yellow Eyes or Skin
If your eyes or skin look yellow like a banana, your liver might need help.
5. Dark Pee or Light Poop
Your pee might look really dark. Your poop might look very light, like clay.
6. Swelling in Legs or Belly
Your feet or tummy might get puffy or big.
What Happens If It Gets Worse?
If the liver gets sicker:
You might feel confused or act silly.
You might get bruises or bleed easily.
Your skin might feel really itchy.
You might get sick a lot with colds or fevers.
Fast or Slow Sickness
Fast Sickness: Liver can get sick quickly from too much medicine or a strong virus.
Slow Sickness: Liver can also get sick slowly after many years of bad food or drinks.
When to Tell a Grown-Up or a Doctor?
If you see these things, tell someone:
Yellow eyes or skin
Confused feelings
Big belly or tummy pain
Dark pee or light poop
Throwing up a lot or bleeding
A doctor can help by checking your blood or taking pictures of your liver.
Your body tells you when something is wrong. If you feel tired, sick, or look different, it’s okay to ask for help. Taking care of your liver helps your whole body feel better!
