Unhygienic food has emerged as a major cause of neuro disorders among children. Neurological disorders affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These disorders can have a significant impact on a child's development and overall well-being. If your child is growing through this, then it is best to consult a good Neurologist.
