My 10 year old daughter's hair doesn't seem to stop falling since she was a a baby. I started giving her Advancis multi vitamins for kids. Anything else I can do?

You first need to seek medical attention to try and find out:
1- the severity of hair loss, and there are methods that the doctor employs in an attempt to quantify hair loss per day
2- assess for the presence of an underlying condition that may be driving hair loss, most commonly iron deficiency, or disturbances in the function of the thyroid gland (whether hypothyroidism or poorly active thyroid, or hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid).
The correct intervention should be decided accordingly.
