Suggest Therapy For Hypercalcemia

My daughter (age 5) was diagnosed with hypercalcemia. What is the significance of hypercalcemia to a child and what are it's treatment options? She is currently on lasix and potassium for "some time" but my husband is not happy with this and was wondering what other treatment options may be and what the significance would be if left untreated. Thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your daughter is on symptomatic treatment right now. But you should search the cause of hyperglycemia. You should investigate for the parathyroid hormone level and vit D level. Search the cause and take treatment accordingly.
