Hi,Agnes Naliniji,
Thanks for query,
Your problem requires evaluation,
As you have got temperature there may be some other problem of rise s. billirubin other than metformin.
go for blood test for TC,DC,
go for ultra sound for any liver pathology.
After reports we may get some conclusion.
ok and bye.
