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 2 year old son has had pale/white stools for approximately 4 days now. He was sick with vomitting and diarrhea for the previous 4 days. His doctor said it was just a virus and there was nothing we could do. The vomitting and diarrhea has passed. The pale stools started very soft and are now quite hard. He is very gassy and bloated and is burping a lot. Is this a result of the virus, or maybe a milk intollerance, or does it definately mean something more serious?
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote I feel it is an evolving hepatitis A infection. I suggest you get him evaluated for jaundice and pale stools. You can do a Hepatitis A IgM levels.
