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.
