Hi

As Hannah said look on CLDF website esp for causes.

Our daughter always presented with a high temp and sometimes pale stools. Each child is different.

Most important thing is if you are worried get it checked out. It's better to get checked out and everything be OK then not. 9/10 times we were right and she was treated for cholangitis.

She has t had cholangitis for 5 years but constantly had it in the first three years of life.

Hope that helps.

My baby being admitted to ward, diagnosed with cholangitis, her fever is slowly fade away, there’s a time it’s gone and sometimes it’s doesn’t gone away. Her poops turning to yellowish color again, but we need to stay here for 1 week fot her to finish the antibiotic, i just curious, if the cholangitis means the kasai isn’t working?

Sending love your way Yuie! Happy to hear that your baby has yellow stools! I’m still waiting for my baby to have that color stool. It’s been 1 month since kasai.... doc recently indicated the kasai isn’t working for my boy but I’m praying he will turn around soon. Sending lots of love and prayers your way for baby!

Every baby presents cholangitis in a different way but most common symptoms are: high fever, abdominal pain, lethargy, decreased appetite, and change in stool/urine color. My baby was recently hospitalized due to cholangitis and discharged after about 1 wk. Best wishes for your baby!
