Doctor's advice:

• "I believe that parents are essential partners in their child's treatment. Trust, open communication, and clear explanations help achieve the best possible outcomes. For me, it is important not only to prescribe treatment but also to help parents understand their child's condition, the causes of the illness, and the steps we are taking together toward recovery."
