Visit your Pediatric: Bring her to your pediatrician for check up, because with the biliary atresia it's not only infection can cause the pain in the abdomen.

Check up: Children by age three who have biliary atresia have had surgery and possibly liver transplantation. If she is the one third with a successful kasai then pain could be from scar tissue or veidence of progression of disease. If she has had a liver transplantation the pain could be hints at rejection, either way prompt evaluation is needed.

Prob. constipatios: This can be a complex issue depending on whether your childhas a successful kasai procedure or not. In general, the most common reason for tummy aches at this age is constitpation. However, if it continues, evaluation by your primary provider is the first step to decide the cause.
