thanks for asking
I gone through your question and understand your concern,
your 15 year old son was diagnosed was hydrocephalus and underwent shunt surgery twice. since 6 month he is having problem.
If i was your treating paediatrician i would check the patency of shunt by pressing it over back of ear and advise CT Scan head to that shunt is working properly or not.
