Question

My child is 16 months old, has a larger head, and cannot speak or walk. Their legs are quite soft. They have been taking calcium supplements for the past three months with no apparent effect. I am consulting about what checks need to be done. I am in urgent need of a response.

Answer

Based on the child’s condition, it may be due to a deficiency in calcium or trace elements. It is recommended to undergo relevant tests to determine the cause and appropriately supplement calcium and take a comprehensive multivitamin. Additionally, attention should be paid to rest and a balanced increase in nutrition.
