Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...along with pale stools if he also has got high colored urine and has lost his appetite and is also having yellowish discoloration of eyes, then it could be a jaundice or hepatitis too. If the above mentioned symptoms are not there, you need not worry. But another important issue is that - AN ACTIVE KID IS A WELL KID - even though appetite is slightly low.
