What causes white stools with pain in abdomen of a 4 year old?
Patient: hi something is wrong with my 4 year old son. he is pooping almost white. he had a stomach bug a few days ago but he isnt throwing up and doesnt have diarreah, he pooped green earlier this week but it went back to brown. now it is almost white and looks like playdough, which we dont have any so i know its not a joke. he is also complaining of sore legs and his belly is hurting. he doesnt have a fever. i really dont know whats wrong with him. pls help idk what to do Doctor: Hi.... I understand your concern. bBy what you say I feel that it is pale coloured stools and abdominal pain which is suggestive of an Acute Viral Hepatitis. I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician so that your kid will be tested for viral hepatitis and treated accordingly.Meanwhile, make sure that you give him good amounts of fruits, so that he passes motion freely. Constipation is a risk factor for encephalopathy in viral hepatitis.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
