Boy Undergoes Dialysis, Recovers at Yenepoya Hospital
A 3-year-old boy was very sick because his kidneys stopped working, meaning he couldn't pee.
Doctors at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital helped him with a special treatment called dialysis.
First, they put a tube in his tummy to clean his blood.
The boy was really sick for a while.
After two weeks, the boy's body started making pee again.
The doctors took out the tube, and he went home healthy.
The boy's parents were happy and thankful to the doctors.
