Can a 2 year old have a lumbar puncture?

Lumbar puncture is the extraction of cerebrospinal fluid from the lumbar intervertebral space, which is the basis for the diagnosis of intracranial infection and is irreplaceable by other examinations to exclude encephalitis and meningitis caused by respiratory infection. Generally, when a child has a fever and is accompanied by neurological symptoms, convulsions or frequent vomiting, mental health and other obvious symptoms, the doctor will decide whether to do a lumbar puncture according to the condition. This has to be done correctly, and the extraction of cerebrospinal fluid does not harm the child itself.
