Thanks for putting your query over here.
The scenario you explained can be because of infection or problems associated with liver,pancreas, gall bladder or small intestine.White stool is generally caused due to absence of bile pigments from stool.I recommend you to take the child as early as possible to the paediatrician,so that assessment through blood investigation,USG can be done as required and accordingly further step can be taken.
Thanks and regards.
