Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Continue giving vitamin D drops and be patient with the process of teething. Kids have their own bodies that take time. As long as he's healthy and normal otherwise you need not worry about slow teething processes. Massage his gums regularly with your washed small finger.
