Hi.... I understand your concern. bBy what you say I feel that it is pale coloured stools and abdominal pain which is suggestive of an Acute Viral Hepatitis. I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician so that your kid will be tested for viral hepatitis and treated accordingly.
Meanwhile, make sure that you give him good amounts of fruits, so that he passes motion freely. Constipation is a risk factor for encephalopathy in viral hepatitis.
