Question
Recently, my son has developed a slightly yellowish complexion and some yellowish spots on his face. His stool has also turned pale, and he occasionally has a fever with chills. We hurried to the hospital for a check-up, and the test results showed it was caused by bile duct obstruction. Can bile duct obstruction be treated?
Answer
Bile duct obstruction can be treated with surgery. Bile duct obstruction is usually caused by congenital developmental abnormalities and often occurs in infants. It is typically characterized by jaundice, pale stools, and in severe cases, it may lead to bile stasis-induced liver cirrhosis. It is crucial to seek hospital treatment for surgery. In daily life, one must ensure adequate rest, get enough sleep, and have a well-balanced diet with a focus on light and healthy foods.
