Explain to your child about the endoscopic procedure. Help children prepare psychologically, guide them to cooperate in the implementation process. Children just need to sit still, do not move their heads, do not turn people for a short period of time.

3.2 With young children

Little babies are not yet aware, so parents only have a way of holding them and keeping them tight. The mother carries the child in an endoscopic chair, leaning her back against the mother. The sick mother's left hand holds the child's hand tightly, while using her legs to lock the child's legs.
