Child suffering from a neurological disease, later developing a brain cyst, what to do?

Patient's question:

My brother is one year and ten months old. He caught a cold and went to the Hong Kong pediatric clinic (Dr. Fung Yik-leung) for treatment. The doctor discovered that his fontanelle was not closed and recommended a CT scan, initially worrying about hydrocephalus. My brother is doing well in terms of intelligence, speech, and motor skills, without vomiting, but sometimes he can be noisy and uses his head to bump into people when playing. After reviewing the images, the doctor said it was a posterior brain cyst and recommended going to Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong for surgery immediately. Due to procedural issues, we haven’t received the images yet, and the doctor didn’t specify the exact location of the tumor. The doctor believes it is not congenital.

Doctor's answer:

I can't watch the movie, so I can't say for sure. I'm not very familiar with those hospitals. In addition to medication and treatment for pediatric neurosurgery, patients need to consult with experts and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so they can get good treatment results.
