6 Year Old Having Stomach Ache. Scan Showing Bubble In The Kidney. Is Surgery Required?
Hello Doctor, My friend s son who is 6 years old has been having a stomach ache. A scan taken in the hospital revealed that there is a bubble in the kidney . We were told that a surgery might be required if the bubble does not dissolve with the help of medicines. Please advice if a surgery is required. Else can it be cured by medicine?
