You can apply for a B-2 visa in order to get your child, a U.S. citizen, medical treatment in the United States.

See: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/visit/visitor.html:

"If you are seeking medical treatment in the United States, the consular officer may ask for further documents at your visa interview, which may include:

Medical diagnosis from a local physician, explaining the nature of the ailment and the reason you need treatment in the United States.

Letter from a physician or medical facility in the United States, stating they are willing to treat your specific ailment and detailing the projected length and cost of treatment (including doctors� fees, hospitalization fees, and all medical-related expenses).

Proof that your transportation, medical, and living expenses in the United States will be paid. This may be in the form of bank or other statements of income/savings or certified copies of income tax returns (either yours or the person or organization paying for your treatment)."
