A lack of B complex Biotin can lead to ridges along nail beds . A lack of calcium can also lead to dry brittle nails. Add a B complex like Becosule syrup or Zincovit syp 5 ml once daily and also a calcium tablet like Osteocalcium 1 OD .If doesn't respond in a month's time then show to a paediatrician
