Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM
Kindly write in the next query about the weight of the baby. For how long the baby is taking wysolone? Any other medicine the child is receiving.
There are fair possibility of getting Hypocalcemia in the patient of nephrotic syndrome with steroids.
His posture of sitting should be taken care by the physiotherapist.
To relief the muscle strain, physical neck exercises to be learned and practiced form the physiotherapist.
His Vitamin D level/serum calcium lever to be evaluated,which is now days commonly found to be low especially in indoor children( poor exposure to sun).
Supplementation of Vitamin D to done( complete course- total ten sachets once a day with milk (calcirol satchets/Vitanova).
Syrup calcium (shelcal/osteocalcium) etc to be regularly given.
Muscle relaxant and analgesic medicines like Paracetamol @15 mg/kg 4 to 6 hourly or SOS can be given with application of some gel like Relaxyl gel for the symptomatic relief.
Hope the query is explained.
Please feel free for the further clarification.
Thanks
