Patient's question:
My son is already two years old today, but recently I've noticed that his stool color has started to turn white. I heard that people with biliary obstruction may experience white stools, so I want to ask if a two-year-old baby can have biliary obstruction?Doctor's answer:
Biliary obstruction is a developmental issue, which is generally more common in newborns. The likelihood of this occurring in a two-year-old child is relatively small. According to the description, the child's condition is highly likely to be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction or irregular eating habits. It is recommended to first regulate the child's diet and avoid raw, cold, or irritating foods. Monitor the situation for a period of time, and if the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention.
