My baby is 9 months old but cannot sit or crawl yet. We consulted a neurologist, and the doctor recommended a BERA test. Is this necessary?

If baby shows delay in milestones, BERA (hearing test) helps rule out hearing loss. Safe and commonly done in babies. Also check Vitamin D, Calcium, and Thyroid.

Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a Calcium Test Test

I have an avulsion fracture that has not healed even after 7 weeks in plaster. I recently did blood tests, which showed low vitamin D levels. I have started taking vitamin D tablets.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent blood test shows a Vitamin D level of 12.08 ng/mL, while my serum calcium level is normal at 10 mg/dL. Should I take only a Vitamin D supplement, or a combination of Vitamin D with calcium? Please advise. I have attached my report for reference.
