Hypocalcimia and vitamin deficiencies maybe cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
After going through your query I concluded that your son may be having hypocalcimia, vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. He is advised following tests to know cause:-
1.Serum Calcium
2.Vitamin D3 level
3.Vitamin B12
4.Haemoglobin
Furthermore he is advised to take calcium, vitamin D3 (if it is low) , Mecobalamin and EvionLC till then. If serum calcium is low then injectable calcium can be taken. You can discuss with your Doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to me. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing your son a good health.
Take care.
