White Loose Stools, Low Grade Fever, Low Appetite. Viral Infection?
hello. my daughter was sick over the weekend with white very loose poop, low grade fever one night. After 2 days it wasn't as loose but still wasn't acting herself. low appetite and slight swelling of her belly. Now 7 days and has solid white BM and less interested in fluids. Virus? Starting to get worried and her doctor said theirs no need to make an apt but feel she should be atleast checked out in case its something serious.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
White stool,
Low grade fever,
Loss of appetite,
Mild swelling,
Mild sedative,
These above mentioned symptoms are indicative of LIVER involvement.
So please consult a physician and get in blood examination for SERUM bilirubin level.
Most probable cause may be jaundice.
Physical examination is very important in this type of cases.
Hope I have answered your query.
If further any question I will be happy to help.
Good luck for little daughter.
