Hi dear,I understand your concern.We should differentiate hypocalcemia, benign myositis.I suggest:
- Blood test.
-Calcium test.
-Rheumatoid factor
-Aspartat Amino Transferase,
Lactate Dehydrogenase,
Alanine Amino Transferase,
Creative Kinase,altogether it can be sign of miozitis.Consult neurologist.
I advise, please keep your baby hydrated with ORS,plenty of water.If she feels pain,then give Ibuprofen.
Hope it helps
