Before turning to Sai Baba, what conventional and alternative methods did the family in Chapter 34 try for the nephew's bone-cyst?

Chapter 34 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explicitly states that the family exhausted numerous options before seeking Sai Baba's intervention. The boy's uncle was a degree-holding doctor, and he, along with his physician and surgeon colleagues, attempted various treatments. The text mentions that 'All native and foreign treatments were tried' and that 'Even surgery was attempted, but nothing succeeded.' When these extensive medical efforts proved fruitless, the family then turned to spiritual remedies, with relatives suggesting the worship of deities. However, the chapter notes that 'Gods, deities, and the family god—none of them seemed to help,' which ultimately led them to hear about the great saint in Shirdi as their final hope.
