Hello Dimokry
At the outset I can assure that you are not alone. There are several dedicated doctors who would like to help you.
When we do not know what is exactly wrong with our child we need to think from 7 angles
1. What is the problem?
2. Why it would have come? Hereditary/ infection / allergy
3. What are the tests required? Painful and painless tests. Scans. We have done several investigations. Do they need to be repeated again and again
4. What are the drugs child require? Should they have to taken daily like diabetic drugs or as and when required, like acetaminophen?
5. What are special diet the child will require?
6. Apart from drugs and diet what are precaution one has to take at home?
7. Lastly, how will be her future? Should we do anything to-day to safeguard her future.
Now let us one at a time.
