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.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

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

I have pain in my hands and legs but no swelling. I think it is in my bones. My blood report, sugar, and BP are normal. Pain in my hands and CBP is also normal. What could be the cause?

Hi Doctors, my 5 year old kid has been complaining of fibula pain for more than a year. Last January we did his blood test (CBC and Vitamin D3). We found vitamin D3 deficiency and CBC was ok except for a slightly elevated platelet count as he had cough at that time. We consulted a pediatrician and he told us that the kid will have pain due to vitamin D3 deficiency and nothing to worry. He gave some vitamin D3 medicine and it healed the pain, and he did not complain of pain until this month. He gets pain mostly at night after his outdoor activities like playing in the park. The pain lasts for 2 hours and he finds it difficult to walk, but the next morning he walks properly. Can you please suggest the treatment? Do we need to take him to the pediatrician again or to an orthopedic doctor? Please help.
