How can stomach skin discoloration with urinary infrequency be treated?
Patient: my 2.5 year old has yellowish skin tone to her stomach area, she is prone to having episodes where she doesnt get to toilet for a wee in time lasts a few days with many accidents yet other times she can tell us with pleanty of notice this is the norm. she has had a temp of 37.6 - 37.8 with no other sypmtoms of illness this has happened a few times before and can last upto 5 days. I was thinking would a urine infection cause all of this or could it be more serious. Doctor: Hi,  Yellowish discolouration of the skin might be a symptom of jaundice or hepatitis. I suggest that you get her evaluated by a paediatrician if she has got jaundice and then we can proceed, please.   Even if it is an infection it could be a hepatotropic viral infection causing Viral hepatitis.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
