#AskTheExpert respect sir My baby daughter is 1 month old today. in previous days my baby got CSF test by doctor but first attempt was miss . due to that she got puncture in her back rib. what should I do?

A. A lumbar puncture is a safe test. Sometimes doctors are not able to get fluid, and they may have to try more than once. A small number of children may have a headache or backache for a day or two after the test. The risk of any serious complications, including bleeding, infection or damage to nerves, is extremely low.
