Question
What’s the matter with a child who has white stools? Do they need medication?
Answer
How long has the child been experiencing this symptom? Has their skin turned yellow? If there are no other symptoms, you can observe them carefully. If the child’s skin turns yellow, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit and have an MRI of the liver and gallbladder done. Give the baby more water and keep an eye on their stools. If the stools remain white consistently, it’s advisable to have a check-up at the hospital.
