What Causes Pale Colored Stool After Stomach Infection?

Hello, My 4 yrs old child had stomach flu last week and influenza this week. She is taking Tamiflu since yesterday. On Tuesday and now today we have noticed that her stool is pale in color (very light). Is it normal for the stool to change pale in color?

Hi...it is not normal for the stool in this scenario to be pale in colour. But influenza can affect liver and cause hepatitis. I suggest you get back to your doctor and get your kid examined. Better to check a urine bile salts and bile pigments too.
