Does Yellow Skin, Cornea And White Stools Is Caused By Hepatobiliary Problem In 23 Months Old?

I have a 23 month old grandson. From the day of his birth, he has periodically had the following symptoms: yellow skin, yellow corneas, hard white stools, abdominal pain, and fevers of an unknown cause (all occurring within the same timeframe). When my daughter takes him to the local ER, a walk-in clinic or his physician, they tell her it is because he has had too much milk in his diet, or he's eaten too many carrots, or some other lame excuse. I am beginning to believe that this is because he is a medicaid baby and no one wants to spend too much time on his problem. There is obviously a hepatobiliary problem here, how do I get someone's attention about it before he has permanent liver damage?

Tthanks for follow up.It is clearly see that your grandson has unknown ikterus. We have lots causes of ikterus-hereditary, carrot overeating, viral infection like as hepatitis A, B, diskynesia of bile ducts, obstruction of bile ducts.You should do deep examination,you should check blood test, liver function test, stool examination,stool for ova and cyst. You give to baby diet number 5, see in the Google, it means not fatty, not spicy, not sour.Start to give him hepatoprotector- LIV 52 1 tab 2times after 15 min before meal 1 month. Consult at gastroenterologist in hospital
