  Dear Hu`ng:
 I totally agree with anh Tuan. The child's disease must be diagnosed by 
the ENT doctor first then the cancer doctor if it is required. 
I don't know well the children's hospital in HoCHiMinh City but 
Children's hospital in HaNoi (Sweden's hospital) is an appropriate 
hospital in VN to diagnose the disease. 
We need more diagnostic informations for the further discussion with the 
medical professional people.
 Good luck
 DQ
