Is biliary atresia serious in infants?

Patient's question:

Is biliary atresia in infants serious? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to recover after treatment? Please help me.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Biliary atresia can cause white stools, and another possibility is that overfeeding with milk can also lead to white stools.
Recommendation: It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the possibility of biliary atresia. In the meantime, give the child one to two teaspoons of warm water before or after meals. When preparing milk formula, strictly follow the recommended ratio and do not increase the amount of (powdered milk) on your own.
