His reflexes is like knee jerk is normal or sometimes exaggerated please help me what is the primary diagnosis of this case.
Answer
Get him examined by a good pediatrician at the earliest. He seems to have paralysis of the muscles that is increasing in intensity. An imaging of the brain such as CT scan or MRI may be required. He may even to need to get admitted in a hospital as the weakness may even affect his respiratory muscles. Back to All Questions
