Questioning exam: Child was very irritant and was not responding to oral commands may be due to deafness
Pulse exam: normal

only local points were used and were stimulated with laser only as I feel deafness was due to local infection

Synopsis: Do not depend only on books try your brain also and accept every case with a challenge
