Question
What’s causing the dimples on a 6-month-old baby’s nails? What has been the past treatment and its effectiveness?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the most likely scenario is calcium deficiency. Although calcium supplements have been started, this is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires patience and a gradual adjustment of nutrition, without rushing. It is recommended to continue with the calcium supplementation and have a detailed re-examination at around six to seven months, providing appropriate buffering and adjustments.
