Question
My son is two years old, and recently his stool has turned pale. I am worried whether he might have bile duct obstruction.
Answer
Bile duct obstruction is not common in two-year-old children, and such symptoms are more likely to appear in newborns. Based on your description, the child’s symptoms may be due to gastrointestinal dysfunction or irregular diet. It is recommended to adjust the child’s diet first, avoid cold and irritating foods, and observe for a period. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention should be sought promptly.
