A. U Please take an advice from a second a paediatrician I mean just go ahead with a second opinion and then only you see whether you want to go for an MRI or not it is not a very easy job for a child to go for MRI so it’s better that you first discuss it with any other doctor and then go ahead with it then take a decision
