Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby will turn 1 next week. He is very fussy since couple of days. He was not eating and drinking milk for 2 days and then on the third day i gave him Lenzol. He is eating better now. His stool is light yellow and pasty and some times muddy colour. I worry if he has jaundice.
Hi...all pasty muddy stools are not jaundice. The symptoms of jaundice are white stools, loss of appetite, highly yellowish urine, and pain in the tummy. If these are not there, you need not worry about jaundice. If still in doubt get a urine bile salts and bile pigments done. if they are negative it is not jaundice. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
