Suggest Treatment For Discoloration In Bowel Movement After Flu
Last wednesday my 4yr old was sick with the 24hr flu bug and the past 3 days I noticed that he has pale to white stool and he says he feels sick but that is when I ask him to eat something and I was just assuming he didn t want to eat the rest of his food on his plate. He does look a little pale still and I looked online about the stool and it caused me concern and was wondering if I should be worried. I don t see any major symptoms and he is still very active.

Hi,
When you say that there has been a fever and he is having pale coloured whitish stools, then we need to consider acute Viral hepatitis and I suggest you discuss this with his pediatrician in get him evaluated please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
