Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi

A 3 year old, unable to stand on his own is a matter of concern.
It is not as simple as calcium deficiency.

A detailed assessment of the weight, height, developmental milestones (gross motor/fine motor, speech and language, social) and systemic examination (detailed examination of the musculoskeletal and nervous system) is needed. His vitamin D status should also be looked into.
It would be better if you have him seen by a Pediatrician.

For the teeth problems, dental hygiene and an appointment with a dentist will be needed.

Till then you may give him calcium supplements available in chemist shops.
(Shelcal/ Ostocalcium suspensions)

Hope my answer helps you.
Wish your son good health.
