Hi.noted history of choledocholithiasis (stone in the common bile duct). If the stone is obstructing, her symptoms will be persistent and eventually progress, jaundice, fever and other signs of infection may ensue. It is best if you bring your daughter to a doctor with urgency, preferably a pediatric or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. I stressed out on the point of urgency, since progression of symptoms of cases like this may be severe, wherein you have to do the management emergently. An elective procedure has fewer risks and less chance of developing post-operative complications, since the patient is properly prepared preoperative. Diagnosctics (such as ultrasound, ct-scan, blood exams, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. In cases of choledocholithiasis, definitive treatment is biliary exploration and surgery. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
