Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies diseases of the liver and bile ducts; in children the pediatric gastroenterologist is involved, with support from the general surgeon and pediatrician depending on the case. If you notice these symptoms, the prudent thing is for a professional to examine the situation carefully.
