A member asked:

What do you suggest if my nephew has some sort of brain problem and can someone tell what they might think it is?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Too vague: Brain problem is too vague of a problem. Specific symptoms and detail would be required for any information. Has your nephew been seen by any doctor yet? That is the first step.
