Question 1

Hi Doctor. I need a suggestion on the medication course for my attached blood report for Vitamin D and cholesterol profile. Thanks, Rahul Bhalerao.

Question 2

I am experiencing frequent mood fluctuations and get anxious easily. Recently, I have gained a lot of weight despite no changes in my food habits, and my thyroid test is normal. I often feel very sad, have no enthusiasm for anything, and feel like giving up easily. My sleeping patterns have changed drastically, I either sleep too much or very little. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Question 3

Hi Doctors, my 5 year old kid has been complaining of fibula pain for more than a year. Last January we did his blood test (CBC and Vitamin D3). We found vitamin D3 deficiency and CBC was ok except for a slightly elevated platelet count as he had cough at that time. We consulted a pediatrician and he told us that the kid will have pain due to vitamin D3 deficiency and nothing to worry. He gave some vitamin D3 medicine and it healed the pain, and he did not complain of pain until this month. He gets pain mostly at night after his outdoor activities like playing in the park. The pain lasts for 2 hours and he finds it difficult to walk, but the next morning he walks properly. Can you please suggest the treatment? Do we need to take him to the pediatrician again or to an orthopedic doctor? Please help.

You are severely Vitamin D deficient. Start cholecalciferol 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, under guidance. Low Vit D can impact pregnancy health.
