What Causes Whitish Stool And Cough?

i can certainly feel something wrong, but dont like spending time in a waiting room at the doctors office.

for 8 days now my stool has been of white, kinda ashy in color. my throat is always dry, so im always coughing, but its like i need to drink juice so i can get taste on my tongue, and thats really weird being i love water and very rarely drink juice.

i feel very uncomfortable especially when i lie down to sleep. im always tired and fatigue at times. alot of discomfort in my lower stomach. in the airconditioning, i am very hot still and get very moody...hot tempered..aggrivated...

im normally very active, but these past 8 days have been horrible..can you help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there,
I understand you are troubled. Your stool colour is concerning and it maybe because of some type of obstruction in your bile duct pathway. You definitely need to visit a general surgeon who can examine you and get the necessary blood test and imaging like ultrasound done to find the exact cause of your symptoms.
Obstruction in the passage of bile can be the reason for all your symptoms.
So do not ignore and visit a doctor soon.
Take care.
