A. Hi parent The reason could either be deficiency or it could be because of some behavioral issues Investigate the cause by testing if she's not having any deficiency if she's deficient , she can be given supplements as per pediatricians advise Take sunbath daily with her head and ears covered Don't use RO water as it's demineralized use simply purified water having TDS higher than 350
