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 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test or Take a CALCIUM - SERUM Test

Hello Doctor. Please see my report and advise me on treatment and medicine. My vitamin D level is very low. Can I take cod liver oil tablets and Uprise D3 pack? Please advise me on what to do?

I am 30 years old and have been experiencing knee pain for the past month. My X ray shows no abnormalities, and doctors suggest it might be due to calcium deficiency. I am taking calcium supplements and have been undergoing physiotherapy sessions for the last 15 days, but the pain persists. My blood test shows an ESR count of 44. Could you please advise if this is something serious and what further steps I should take?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My vitamin D test level is 7 as per recent test reports from 2 days ago. I have had a backache for the last 6 months. Kindly recommend treatment?
