Suggest Alternative Medicine For Frequent Cold Along With Excessive Infant Crying

Hi this is santhosh , My daughter pooja 2yrs 8month old she is undergone Bilateral vp shunt when 10 month old due to septic shock neumonia.. now she recently affect with heavy cold and cough... it get treated by paeidiatrician after 2 weeks she started crying with high pitch continously almost whole day.. Again went to paediatrician probably the issued becoz of constorportiin issue they recommended the medicine she passed out tool but still crying is not stopped due to non communicable pain.. we are consult with neurologist they are advised to do CT scan we do the same. Neurologist suggest me to go fot vp shunt due to blockege of previous shunt. Doing a shunt on repeatedly it may not be a wise decision according to me if there is any alternate medicine like ayurvedic , accupuncture and siddhha. Now babby used to cry because of leg pain when we applied for franch oil she feel better and stopped crying..

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...my suggestion will be to go ahead with a revision of VP shunt and it is the best for your kid. If the neurologist has advised the VP shunt after seeing the CT scan it means that as time progresses the shunt may not work well in this position. In future the condition of the baby might worsen. I suggest you go ahead with revision surgery.
