Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern. I am sorry to hear that your child has been struggling with these health issues. It may be helpful to consult with a pediatric surgeon or specialist who can provide a thorough evaluation of your child's condition and recommend appropriate treatment options. In addition to seeking medical attention, it may also be helpful to connect with support groups or advocacy organizations that can provide resources and support for families with children who have similar health conditions. These organizations can offer a wealth of information and support to help you navigate your child's ongoing care and manage the emotional and practical challenges that come with caring for a child with a chronic health condition. Hope this has addressed your concern.

Regards.
