Nausea and vomiting are other common symptoms of Yellow Fever. These symptoms are typically a result of the body trying to rid itself of the virus. While unpleasant, it's a clear sign that the body is fighting the infection. It's important to stay hydrated during this stage of the disease, as vomiting can lead to dehydration, which can exacerbate symptoms and lead to further complications. If you're unable to keep fluids down due to persistent vomiting, it's crucial to seek medical help.

The term 'Yellow Fever' comes from one of its most distinctive symptoms – jaundice. Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes, caused by damage to the liver, one of the organs that Yellow Fever can affect. This symptom usually appears after the initial fever stage, and it's a clear sign that the disease is progressing. Not everyone with Yellow Fever will experience jaundice, but if it does occur, it's a clear indicator that immediate medical intervention is necessary.
