What Causes Stomach Ache With White Bowel Movement And Low Grade Fever?

My 8 year old son has had a stomach ache for 4 days. He finally just had a bowel movement and it was white. He had a low-grade fever a couple of days ago. He s hardly eaten anything and when he does eat he complains of pain in his stomach. Is this an emergency??

Hello, it is not an emergency. But the white stool is suggestive of a hepatitis and it requires evaluation.
I suggest you take your son to the pediatrician for further evaluatoin and if he has jaundice.
