My 3-year-old son has a painless dermoid cyst on his forehead near the eyebrow area with no signs of infection so far. Is surgery necessary to remove it or are there other treatment options? If surgery is needed, how long does the procedure usually take?

I'm trying to find out what the cost of a hernia operation might be at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai or somewhere similar. Also, Im curious about how long someone would need to stay in the hospital afterward. It's all a bit overwhelming, and I just want to get a clear picture of what to expect. Could you help?
Dizziness and blackouts can be concerning, especially after brain tumor surgery. Hisone-5 (Prednisone 5mg) is a steroid medication, and dizziness is a possible side effect. However, blackouts are not typically associated with Prednisone. Other potential causes for her symptoms might include: - Post-surgical complications or residual effects - Medication interactions or side effects from other medications Consult her doctor or neurosurgeon to discuss these symptoms and determine the best course of action.
