Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Even hepatitis may be associated with lack of appetite and change in the color of the stool. Are the eye of the child looking yellow? Did your doctor order investigations like liver function tests including SGOT, SGPT, Serum bilirubin etc. These investigations may help to identify if hepatitis is present or not. Further investigations may be required to identify the cause of hepatitis.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
