My son has has gotten three 24-48 EEGs alreay and will need to get a another one done this month. Is it safe for him to get so many done within 5 months?

Totally safe for kids and adults alike! The only thing I don't like about it, is all the sticky glue haha. When I did it in February at UCSF, the glue felt stronger than the ones when I had as a kid.
