Question

A three-year-old child has been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and the doctor says that there is no cure available at present. The doctor advises that the child should receive good nutrition at home, and that there may be difficulty in movement around the age of eight or nine, with life expectancy potentially extending up to 20 years. The parents are seeking guidance on how to cope with this situation.

Answer

The child has developed multiple monkeypox-like sores (possibly caused by a viral infection), and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination. Treatment may involve laser or cryotherapy, and possibly the administration of interferon medications. It is suggested that the parents take the child to a dermatology clinic for a detailed examination and to administer medication under the guidance of a professional doctor.
