A member asked:

A week ago10 month son had a loss of consciousness,bend back of his body, stiffness.can my son be at cancer risk if he undergoes several x-rays?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

We all are: We all are at a small risk of cancer. That's because all humans get cell mutations, but fortunately our risk of cancer is small until we get to an older age. A baby's risk of cancer does not change when he gets several typical x-rays. That being said, one should only do x-rays when needed for a medical purpose.
