Medical Details
In 2020 November, Harsha developed a fever for which his family took him to a clinic. He was prescribed general antibiotics by the Doctor. However, after a couple of weeks he began throwing-up. A concerned family then took him to consult a Doctor at Shishuka Pediatric Hospital, where he underwent a CT-Scan and X-Ray. The report revealed that there was a secretion of liquid in his lungs and this needed to be removed.
After a few days he began experiencing breathing problems and the family ended up visiting various hospitals to understand what was happening. It was at Manipal Hospital, after going through a CT –Scan that the Doctor informed them that there was the presence of Lymph Nodes, which was causing the secretion of liquid in his lungs and creating difficulty in breathing. Upon the suggestion of a relative, the family then consulted with Dr.Intezar Mehndi in January 2021.
