Question 1

Hi, I am a 20 year old female recently diagnosed with a very low vitamin D level, my 25(OH) Vitamin D (total) result was less than 8.0 ng per mL, based on a blood test done around 4 months ago. I was advised to take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 2 months. However, since I also have vitiligo and am currently undergoing depigmentation treatment, I strictly avoid sun exposure. I have heard that in such cases, a longer term vitamin D supplement may be necessary. Could you please guide me on how much vitamin D I should be taking daily in my situation? Also, should I be taking magnesium supplements alongside, and if so, in what dosage?

Question 2

Hello doctor, my husband has been having a headache for the last 20 days on the right side especially near the eye and front area. It is every day and comes and goes with no specific time. He went for an eye test and vision is good. Which department should we consult now for the headache? Please help.

Question 3

My baby is 9 months old but cannot sit or crawl yet. We consulted a neurologist, and the doctor recommended a BERA test. Is this necessary?

I have pain in my hands and legs, but there is no swelling. My blood report, sugar, BP, and CBP are all normal. This has been happening for the last 15 days and it is not affecting my routine activities. What could be the cause?

If pain is mild, comes and goes, and all reports are normal, This may be posture-related, nerve irritation, or mild deficiency. Ensure good hydration and daily stretching. Check Vitamin D and B12 to rule out subtle causes.
