Hello,
To help your child stay as healthy as possible, its important to work closely with their team of doctors. Follow their instructions about visits, tests and treatments. Let your child doctor know if you see any changes in your child’s symptoms or health. These could be caused by placement of shunt in the brain and need treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
