For An Infant, What Does A Spinal Tap Procedure Entail?
Hello, My friend is in a issue right now... She has a month old baby who has the sweats and has spots on his tongue. Her doctor told her to bring him right to the ER, and they probably will do a spinal tap. She really isnt sure what it is, can you help me?
