Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Graying of hair is seen in some children because of lack of balanced diet.

I advise you to give him balanced diet.

Macalvit and dexorange are Indian brands of calcium and oral iron preparations respectively and you can't find them in the USA.

I advise you to consult the pediatrician and he will rule out any underlying medical and nutritional problem for gray hair and he will prescribe the medication.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
