Manali K MehtaMom of a 9 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. 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
