Is it harmful to do lumbar puncture?

When doctors suspect that a newborn has meningitis, a lumbar puncture, or lumbar puncture, is an essential diagnostic tool. However, many parents are afraid when they hear about a lumbar piercing and categorically refuse. I am worried that children who have had "bone water" will be "stupid" in the future. In fact, lumbar puncture only uses a needle to extract a little cerebrospinal fluid from the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae to test, and this test is the only way to confirm the diagnosis. Under careful aseptic operation, lumbar puncture does not harm the child. On the contrary, releasing some cerebrospinal fluid can also relieve symptoms of increased intracranial pressure such as headache and convulsions. If a child who has suffered from meningitis grows up and develops intellectual disability, it is by no means caused by a lumbar puncture, but a sequelae of the meningitis itself. Therefore, when a doctor proposes to perform a lumbar puncture for a child, parents should actively cooperate and seize the opportunity to quickly diagnose and avoid delaying the disease.
