A. only on proper physical examination and report correlation some opinion can be given so it's better You should have proper consultation with your treating doctor , as some examination or investigations may be needful, so that proper medications can be given And the treatment can be done very properly.

A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination, it is not possible to understand the present condition. Consult your doctor for further advice regarding this matter. Clarify your concerns and follow your doctors. Good luck and take care.
