It's not a disease. It's a habit. Some time calcium deficiency is seen. Deworming must be done every two three months. Yet you can consult a md physician or paediatrician. Tab albendazole 400 one to chew before breakfast with one glass of water. No taste but palatable. Cholecalciferol 2 lac unit per week for six weeks after breakfast.

But why is she doing that is she very nervous. The nails will grow again for sure --but nail biting habit is not good. Give her cina 200 one dose and get back to me after a week.
