In children, liver fluke infections can lead to a range of health problems depending on the severity of the infestation. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and jaundice. Chronic infections can cause more severe issues such as malnutrition, growth retardation, and impaired liver function. In some cases, long-term infections can increase the risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma, a type of bile duct cancer.
